“…We belive that pseudoexfoliation (PEX) should be considered as a risk factor for development of SCH. The association between PEX and glaucoma has been well documented and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma is believed to be secondary open-angle glaucoma which differs from chronic simple glaucoma by manifesting higher IOP, rapid loss of visual field, and poorer response to medication 14 . Although the pathogenesis of PEX remains obscure, depositions of characteristic fibrillar extracelullar material in various ocular and also extraocular tissues have been extensively reported.…”

Aims:To evaluate the incidence, patient risk factors, diagnosis and management of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after glaucoma filtering surgery.Methods: Retrospective case series study comprised 1553 eyes having glaucoma filtering surgery during the last 15 years (between January 1993 and December 2007) at our department. Observations included incidence, patient risk factors, peri and postoperative diagnosis, management, and outcomes of SCH after this procedure.Results: Two cases of SCH were revealed. In one eye SCH developed at the end of surgery, in the other eye in the postoperative period. Both patients had systemic and ocular risk factors (hypertension, high preoperative intraocular pressure, myopia, pseudoexfoliation, aphakia or pseudophakia). Visual functions improved in the case of intraoperative SCH over 2 months withouth surgical intervention, in the eye with delayed postoperative SCH visual outcome was poor despite multiple lavages of anterior chamber and vitreous cavity.Conclusion: Suprachoroidal hemorrhage, both expulsive and delayed, is a rare, but severely debilitating complication of glaucoma surgery.

Purpose This is a collaborative case-control study from Ophthalmology and Cardiology departments of a tertiary care hospital, designed to explore the relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). Method In all, 50 patients with CAD proven by coronary angiography, and 50 controls with normal coronary angiographic findings were compared in terms of PEX, other vascular diseases, and retinal vascular findings. v 2 -test and Student's t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results The number of patients with PEX among CAD ( þ ) patients was substantially larger than controls. In all, 28 of 50 CAD ( þ ) patients and only 12 of 50 CAD (À) patients had PEX. PEX was significantly associated with CAD (P ¼ 0.001). When all patients were regrouped according to the presence of PEX, patients with PEX did not differ from patients without PEX in terms of age (P ¼ 0.360) and sex (P ¼ 0.507), but the prevalence of CAD was higher (P ¼ 0.001) and fundoscopic findings of vascular diseases were significantly more prominent (P ¼ 0.0001) in PEX ( þ ) patients. Discussion We demonstrated statistically significant difference in the prevalence of PEX in CAD patients, and also in the prevalence of CAD in PEX ( þ ) individuals. These were striking differences. We should consider the possibility of the presence of PEX in CAD patients; and the predisposition of PEX ( þ ) persons for CAD, which necessitates a fundus examination for findings of systemic vascular diseases.

“…Patients with XFG have higher intraocular pressures and more severe damage at the time of detection than do patients with primary (idiopathic) open-angle glaucoma, and damage progresses more rapidly (Tarkkanen 1965, Aasved 1971, Lindblom & Thorburn 19841997b). Unilateral involvement in XFS is often a precursor to bilateral involvement (Henry et al 1987). Indeed, many apparently unilateral cases with XFS are thought to be bilateral.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To provide evidence for the hypothesis that dynamic iridolenticular contact predisposes to the development of glaucoma in exfoliation syndrome (XFS). Methods: We present four patients with bilateral XFS and unilateral exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) whose normotensive eyes had suffered traumatic loss of dynamic iridolenticular contact. Results: All 4 patients had bilateral XFS and developed XFG only in the untraumatized eyes. One patient had loss of iridolenticular contact in the traumatized eye, two had a nonreactive pupil, and one had had intracapsular cataract extraction at age 28. Conclusions: Loss of dynamic iridolenticular contact may help to protect against development of glaucoma in eyes with XFS.
