Abstract

Aims: To evaluate clinical characteristic of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) and Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) eastern part of Uttar Pradesh.

Settings and Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods and Material: We reviewed the medical records database system to identify all patients aged 35 years or older with PXG or PXS who attended the eye outpatient clinic between January 1, 2021 and January 31, 2022.

Results: A total of 40 patients with 78 eyes were diagnosed as having PXG or (PXS). Mean age of study patients was 66.12±11.63 years. The male to female ratio was 2.64:1. The average IOP, C: D ratio was more in in patients having PXG (p<0.001) as compared to PXS. PEX at pupillary margin and pupillary ruff atrophy was more in PXG. The bilateral involvement of disease was observed in most of the patients. Conclusions: Dilated anterior segment examination must be used in routine practice to prevent missed diagnosis of early PEX patients, to decrease glaucomatous damage.
