Abstract

AIM OF STUDY: The aim of this study is to assess clinical spectrum and response to treatment of glaucoma in pseudoexfoliation syndrome METHODS All patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome were selected for study. This is a cross sectional study . All patients have undergone complete ocular examination including visual acuity, slit lamp examination, ophthalmoscopic examination, IOP measurement, gonioscopy, pachymetry and visual field examination and these patients were advised to followup at regular intervals. RESULTS:30 patients, males with age group of 61-70 years are commonly affected. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is unilateral on presentation but eventually becomes bilateral.CONCLUSION: Pseudoexfoliation is a common identifiable cause of secondary glaucoma producing ocular morbidity. Due to its fluctuating IOP, aggressive course and difficulty in managing with medical treatment it stands as a distinct enigmatic clinical entity.
