Ocular Findings in Exfoliation Syndrome
Ritch RJournal of Glaucoma 2018; 27: S67-S71
Exfoliation syndrome is characterized by numerous ocular manifestations, the most important of these being glaucoma and cataract. Its ocular manifestations affect all of the structures of the anterior segment as well as conjunctiva and orbital structures. Exfoliation material is seen most prominently as characteristic white deposits on the anterior surface of the lens and the pupillary border of the iris. Both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma are intimately associated with exfoliation syndrome. Other findings include zonular disruption, iris sphincter fibrosis, keratopathy, ocular surface disease, and retinal vein occlusion.
