Pseudoexfoliationssyndrom: Fehlen der zentralen Zone des Pseudoexfoliations-Materials bei Patienten mit Pseudophakie - eine klinische Studie

Abstract

The lack of a central homogeneous round zone of pseudoexfoliation material deposits on the anterior surface of posterior chamber lenses seems to be characteristic. The change in topography of PEX material on intraocular lenses is described here for the first time. A knowledge of this change in the topography of pseudoexfoliation material in pseudophakia is important for glaucoma screening, because pseudoexfoliation deposits can only be detected in mydriasis due to the peripheral location on the intraocular lens. Due to the old age of patients at the onset of pseudoexfoliation deposits, a pseudoexfoliation syndrome frequently is likely to develop after cataract surgery in many patients.
