Methods: Conjunctival tissue was obtained at the end of uneventful cataract surgical procedure in 40 patients with pseudoexfoliation from the inferior and nasal part of the conjunctiva. The results were compared to an equal control group. Light microscopy, electron microscopy and histochemistry were performed. Results: 1)展开更多
Purpose: Comparison of the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) efficacy and safety of timolol maleate given twice daily versus la?tanoprost given once every evening in patients with exfoliation glaucoma Design: This wa...Purpose: Comparison of the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) efficacy and safety of timolol maleate given twice daily versus la?tanoprost given once every evening in patients with exfoliation glaucoma Design: This was a 3-month prospective, single-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel comparison performed in six hospitals in Greece. We investigated consecutive patients with exfoliation glaucoma, or ocular hypertension and exfoliation syndrome. Patients were randomized to ei-展开更多

However, the exact pathogenetic mechanisms remain unknown. An infection, possibly viral, may be involved. This study aims at evaluating the presence of Herpes Simplex (HSV) and Varicella-Zoster (VZV) viruses in iris and anterior capsule specimens of PEX and non-PEX patients. Methods: Fifty-eight iris and 52展开更多

Glaucoma in exfoliative patients has a more serious clinical course and worse prognosis than in primary open-angle glaucoma. Exfoliative glaucoma is characterized by a poorer response to medications, a more severe clinical course, and more展开更多
