ABSTRACT

Objective: Determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
Methods: A study was conducted of 109 eyes of 55 patients attending the Ocular Microsurgery Center and Glaucoma Service at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from July 2016 to September 2017. Characterization was based on determinations made by gonioscopy, tonometry, pachymetry, endothelial microscopy, funduscopy and visual acuity measurement.
Results: Mean age was 74.6 years, with a predominance of the male sex (60%), white skin (78.2%) and frequent antecedents of vascular disease, particularly arterial hypertension (65.5%). All the patients had cataract, which was predominantly bilateral and nuclear in 92.7%. In all cases the chamber angle was open, whereas intraocular pressure was high in 36.4%. 56.4% of the patients had glaucoma, which was more commonly unilateral (38.2%). Regarding the corneal endothelium, cellularity was reduced in 40%, with polymegethism (58.2%) and pleomorphism (72.7%).
Conclusion: No relationship was found between corneal alterations, age and intraocular pressure, and the presence of pseudoexfoliative material.
