CLINICAL PROFILE OF PSEUDOEXFOLIATION IN CATARACT SURGERY-A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

C. N .GUPTA, PRABHUCHITANYA POTTUR & SPOORTHI Department of Ophthalmology, P.E.S. institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India ABSTARCT Background The pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an age related generalized abnormal production or turnover of extracellular matrix in ocular tissues, orbital tissues, skin and visceral organs. The exact etio-pathogenesis condition and chemical composition of the material still remains unknown. The renewed interest in this long known entity results from better awareness of the spectrum of intra-ocular risks in open angle glaucoma, conjunction with/ or intra-ocular surgery was described in the relevant findings.
