Abstract

Background: pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome is a common age-related disease characterized by the accumulation of grey-white extracellular fibrillary material on anterior segment structures. The aim of the study is to compare intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle in pseudoexfoliative patients and normal population. Methods: The participants were divided into 2 groups: Control group: includes 16 healthy normal eyes. PEX group: includes 25 pseudoexfoliative eyes diagnosed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. The study was conducted in the ophthalmology department at Minia University Hospital. All participants examed by slitlamp biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure measured by Gold mann applanation tonometry, Gonioscopy grading and Scheimpflug imaging using pentacam (OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany) analysis under scotopic conditions.  Results: There are no significant differences of the anterior segment parameters, intraocular pressure or gonioscopy when comparing PEX cases versus controls except in the CCT.
Conclusion: Assessment of anterior segment parameters is an important as CV measurements and corneal thickness might be indirect indicators of endothelial function in patients with PEX.
