Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;4(2):97-9.

Objective: To calculate the frequency of glaucoma in patients with pseudoexfoliation. Subjects and methods: Thirty-eight confirmed cases of pseudoexfoliation were included in the study. Tonometry, gonioscopy, ophthalmoscopy and visual field analysis was carried out to determine glaucoma. Results: Out of thirty-eight patients, seven (18.42%) were found to have glaucomatous changes. Three (7.89%) of them had the glaucomatous damage in both eyes and four (10.53%) in one eye only. The mean age of the subject was 60.7±7.0 years (range 42-75 years). Conclusion: There is marked increase in frequency/ risk of developing glaucoma in pseudoexfoliation patients.
