Pseudoexfoliation syndrome
From Wikipedia, the Iree encyclopedia
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome,
(other names: Exfoliation
glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation
glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation
of the lens, Exfoliation
svndrome) sometimes
abbreviated as PEX,
|1|
is an
agingrelated systemic disease
maniIesting itselI primarily in
the eyes which is characterized
by the accumulation oI
microscopic granular amyloid-like protein Iibers.
|2|
Its cause is
unknown, although there is speculation that there may be a genetic
basis. It is more prevalent in women than men, and in persons past the
age oI seventy. Its prevalence in diIIerent human populations varies; Ior
example, it is prevalent in Scandinavia.
|2|
The buildup oI protein
clumps can block normal drainage oI the eye Iluid called the aqueous
humor and can cause, in turn, a buildup oI pressure leading to glaucoma
and loss oI vision.
|3|
As worldwide populations become older because
oI shiIts in demography, PEX may become a matter oI greater concern.
|4|
History
PseudoexIoliation syndrome (PEX) was Iirst described by an
ophthalmologist Irom Finland named John Lindberg in 1917.
|5||4|
He built his own slit lamp to study the condition and reported
"grey Ilakes on the lens capsule", as well as glaucoma in 50° oI
the eyes, and an "increasing prevalence oI the condition with
age."
|6|
Several decades later, an ocular pathologist named
Georgiana Dvorak-Theobald suggested the term
pseudoexIoliation to distinguish it Irom a similar ailment which
sometimes aIIected glassblowers called true exfoliation
syndrome. The latter ailment is caused by heat or "inIrared-
related changes in the anterior lens capsule" and is characterized
by "lamellar delamination oI the lens capsule."
|4|
Sometimes the
two terms "pseudoexIoliation" and "true exIoliation" are used
interchangeably
|6|
but the more precise usage is to treat each case
separately.
Symptoms
Page 1 of 9 Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4/15/2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome
Dr. Lindberg in 1917 built his own
slit lamp to study pseudoexIoliation
syndrome. A slit lamp in an
ophthalmology clinic in recent times.
Patients may have no speciIic symptoms.
|4|
In some cases,
patients may complain oI lessened visual acuity or changes in
their perceived visual Iield, and such changes may be secondary
to or diIIerent Irom symptoms normally associated with cataracts
or glaucoma.
|4|
PEX is characterized by tiny microscopic white
|5|
or grey
|6|
granular Ilakes
|4|
which are clumps oI proteins within the eye
which look somewhat like dandruII when seen through a
microscope and which are released by cells.
|7|
The abnormal
|8|
Ilakes, sometimes compared to amyloid-like material,
|4||2|
are
visible during an examination oI the lens oI an eye by an
ophthalmologist or optometrist, which is the usual diagnosis.
|7|
The white IluIIy material is seen in many tissues both ocular and
extraocular:
|8|
in the anterior chamber structures,
|4||5|
trabecular
meshwork, central disc, zonular Iibres, anterior hyaloid
membrane, pupillary and anterior iris, trabecula, and
occasionally the cornea.
|9||10|
The Ilakes are widespread.
|8|
One
report suggested that the granular Ilakes were Irom abnormalities
oI the basement membrane in epithelial cells, and that they were
distributed widely throughout the body and not just within structures oI the eye.
|4|
There is some
research suggesting that the material may be produced in the iris pigment epithelium, ciliary epithelium,
or the peripheral anterior lens epithelium.
|4|
A similar report suggests that the proteins come Irom the
lens, iris, and other parts oI the eye.
|3|
A report in 2010 Iound indications oI an abnormal ocular surIace
in PEX patients, discovered by an eye staining method known as rose bengal.
|11|
PEX can become problematic when
the Ilakes become enmeshed in a
"spongy area" known as the
trabecular meshwork and block its
normal Iunctioning,
|2|
and may
interact with degenerative changes in
the Schlemm's canal and the
juxtacanalicular area.
|4|
The
blockage leads to greater-than-
normal elevated intraocular pressure
|2|
which, in turn, can damage the
optic nerve.
|7|
The eye produces a
clear Iluid called the aqueous humor
which subsequently drains such that
there is a constant level oI saIe
pressure within the eye, but
glaucoma can result iI this normal
outIlow oI Iluid is blocked.
|7|
Glaucoma is an umbrella term
indicating ailments which damage

the neural cable Irom the eye to the
brain called the optic nerve, and
which can lead to a loss oI vision.
|7|
In most cases oI glaucoma, typically
called primarv open-angle
glaucoma, the outIlow does not
happen normally but doctors can not
see what is causing the blockage;
with PEX, however, the Ilakes are
believed to be a cause oI the
blockage.
|7|
PEX Ilakes by
themselves do not directly cause
glaucoma, but can cause glaucoma
indirectly by blocking the outIlow oI
aqueous humor, which leads to
higher intraocular pressure, and this
can cause glaucoma.
|4|
PEX has been
known to cause a weakening oI
structures within the eye which help
hold the eye's lens in place, called
lens zonules.
|2|
Diagnosis
PEX is usually diagnosed by an eye
doctor who examines the eye using a microscope. The method is termed slit lamp examination and it is
done with an "85° sensitivity rate and a 100° speciIicity rate."
|4|
Since the symptom oI increased
pressure within the eye is generally painless until the condition becomes rather advanced, it is possible
Ior people aIIlicted with glaucoma to be in danger yet not be aware oI it.
|7|
As a result, it is
recommended that persons have regular eye examinations to have their levels oI intraocular pressure
measured, so that treatments can be prescribed beIore there is any serious damage to the optic nerve and
subsequent loss oI vision.
|7|
Causes
The cause or etiology oI pseudoexIoliation glaucoma is generally unknown.
|7||4||2|
PEX is generally believed to be a systemic disorder,
|4||6||2|
possibly oI the basement membrane oI the
eye.
|2|
Researchers have noticed deposits oI PEX material in various parts oI the body, including in the
skin, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and elsewhere.
|6|
Nevertheless, what is puzzling is that PEX tends to
happen in only one eye Iirst, which scientists call unilateralitv,
|2|
and in some cases, gradually aIIlicts
the other eye, which is termed bilateralitv.
|9||4|
According to this reasoning, iI PEX were a systemic
disorder, then both eyes should be aIIected at the same time, but they are not.
|9|
There are contrasting
reports about the extent and speed with which PEX moves Irom one eye to both eyes. According to one
report, PEX develops in the second eye in 40° oI cases.
|4|
A contrasting report was that PEX can be
Page 3 of 9 Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4/15/2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome
Iound in both eyes in almost all situations iI an electron microscope is used to examine the second eye,
or iI a biopsy oI the conjunctiva was done, but that the extent oI PEX is the second eye was much less
than the Iirst one.
|4|
A diIIerent report suggested that two thirds oI PEX patients had Ilakes in only one
eye.
|12||9|
In one long term study, patients with PEX in only one eye were studied, and it was Iound that
over time, 13° progressed to having both eyes aIIlicted by PEX.
|9|
Scientists believe that elevated levels
oI plasma homocysteine are a risk Iactor Ior cardiovascular disease,
|4|
and two studies have Iound higher
levels oI plasma homocysteine in PEX patients,
|13|
or elevated homocysteine concentrations in tear
Iluids produced by the eye.
|14|
There is speculation that PEX may be caused by oxidative damage and the presence oI free radicals,
although the exact nature oI how this might happen is still under study.
|4|
Studies oI PEX patients have
Iound a decrease in the concentrations oI ascorbic acid,
|15|
increase in concentrations oI
malondialdehyde,
|16|
and an increase in concentrations oI 8-iso-prostaglandinF2a.
|17|
There is speculation that genetics may play a role in PEX.
|4||6|
A predisposition to develop PEX later in
liIe may be an inherited characteristic, according to one account.
|4|
One report suggested the genetic
component was "strong".
|1|
One study perIormed in Iceland and Sweden has associated PEX with
polymorphisms in gene LOXL1.
|5|
A report suggested that a speciIic gene named LOXL1 which was a
member oI the Iamily oI enzymes which play a role in the linking oI collagen and elastin inside cells.
LOXL1 was responsible Ior "all the heritability" oI PEX, according to one source.
|6|
Two distinct
mutations in which a single nucleotide was changed, or called a single nucleotide polvmorphism or SNP,
was discovered in Scandinavian populations and conIirmed in other populations, and may be involved
with the onset oI PEX.
|6|
The gene is called LOXL1 ... Because pseudoexIoliation syndrome is associated with
abnormalities oI the extracellular matrix and the basement membrane, this gene could
reasonably play a role in the pathophysiology oI the condition.
Dr. Allingham
|6|
Researchers are investigating whether Iactors such as exposure to ultraviolet light, living in northern
latitudes, or altitude inIluence the onset oI PEX.
|4|
One report suggested that climate was not a Iactor
related to PEX.
|4|
Another report suggested a possible link to sunlight as well as a possible autoimmune
response, or possibly a virus.
|1|
Prevalence
Scientists are studying diIIerent populations and relationships to try to learn more about the disease.
They have Iound associations with diIIerent groups but it is not yet clear what the underlying Iactors are
and how they aIIect diIIerent peoples around the world.
Ŷ Glaucoma patients. While PEX and glaucoma are believed to be related, there are cases oI
persons with PEX without glaucoma, and persons with glaucoma without PEX.
|4|
Generally, a
person with PEX is considered as having a risk oI developing glaucoma, and vice versa. One
study suggested that the PEX was present in 12° oI glaucoma patients.
|4||18|
Another Iound that
PEX was present in 6° oI an "open-angle glaucoma" group.
|19|
PseudoexIoliation syndrome is
Page 4 of 9 Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4/15/2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome
PEX is more prevalent in regions such as Scandinavia but it
is not clearly understood why this is the case. In picture: a
scene Irom western Norway.
considered to be the most common oI identiIiable causes oI glaucoma.
|5|
II PEX is diagnosed
without glaucoma, there is a high risk oI a patient subsequently developing glaucoma.
|3|
Ŷ Country and region. Prevalence oI
PEX varies by geography. In Europe,
diIIering levels oI PEX were Iound;
5° in England, 6° in Norway, 4° in
Germany, 1° in Greece, and 6° in
France.
|4|
One contrary report
suggested that levels oI PEX were
higher among Greek people.
|20|
One
study oI a county in Minnesota Iound
that the prevalence oI PEX was 25.9
cases per 100,000 people.
|21|
It is
reportedly high in northern European
countries such as Norway, Sweden and Finland,
|2|
as well as among the Sami people oI northern
Europe, and high among Arabic populations,
|22||23|
but relatively rare among AIrican Americans
and Eskimos. In southern AIrica, prevalence was Iound to be 19° oI patients in a glaucoma clinic
attending to persons oI the Bantu tribes.
|24|
Ŷ Race. It varies considerably according to race.
|4|
Ŷ Gender. It aIIects women more than men. One report was that women were three times more
likely than men to develop PEX.
|4||25|
Ŷ Age. Older persons are more likely to develop PEX.
|4||2|
And persons younger than 50 are highly
unlikely to have PEX. A study in Norway Iound that the prevalence oI PEX oI persons aged 50
59 was 0.4° while it was 7.9° Ior persons aged 8089 years.
|26|
II a person is going to develop
PEX, the average age in which this will happen is between 69 to 75 years, according to the
Norwegian study.
|4|
A second corroborating report suggested that it happens primarily to people
70 and older.
|2|
While older people are more likely to develop PEX, it is not seen as a "normal"
part oI aging.
|4|
Ŷ Other diseases. Sometimes PEX is associated with the development oI medical problems other
than merely glaucoma. There are conIlicting reports about whether PEX is associated with
problems oI the heart or brain; one study suggested no correlations
|27|
while other studies Iound
statistical links with Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, cerebral atrophy, chronic cerebral
ischemia, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, heart disease, and hearing loss.
|4|
Treatment
While PEX itselI is untreatable as oI 2011, it is possible Ior
doctors to minimize the damage to vision and to the optic nerves
by the same medical techniques used to prevent glaucoma.
Ŷ Eyedrops. This is usually the Iirst treatment method.
Eyedrops can help reduce intraocular pressure within the
Page 5 of 9 Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4/15/2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome
Conventional surgery to treat
glaucoma makes a new opening in the
meshwork. This new opening helps
Iluid to leave the eye and lowers
intraocular pressure.
In a surgical procedure called
trabectome, the trabecular meshwork
is removed to help glaucoma patients.
eye.
|7|
The medications within the eyedrops can include
beta blockers (such as levobunolol or timolol) which slow
the production oI the aqueous humor.
|7|
And other
medications can increase its outIlow, such as prostaglandin
analogues (e.g. latanoprost).
|7|
And these medicines can be
used in various combinations.
|7|
In most cases oI
glaucoma, eyedrops alone will suIIice to solve the
problem.
Ŷ Laser surgery. A Iurther treatment is a type oI laser
therapy known as trabeculoplasty in which a high-energy
laser beam is pointed at the trabecular meshwork to cause
it to "remodel and open" and improve the outIlows oI the
aqueous humor. These can be done as an outpatient
procedure and take less than twenty minutes. One report
suggests this procedure is usually eIIective.
|2|
Ŷ Eye surgery. Surgery is the treatment method oI last resort
iI the other methods have not worked. It is usually
eIIective at preventing glaucoma.
|2|
Eye surgery on PEX
patients can be subject to medical complications iI the
Iibers which hold the lens have become weakened because
oI a buildup Irom the Ilakes; iI the lens-holding Iibers have
weakened, then the lens may become loose, and
complications Irom eye surgery may result.
|7|
In such
cases, it is recommended that surgeons act quickly to
repair the phacodonesis beIore the lenses have dropped.
|28|
A surgeon cuts an opening in the white portion oI the eye
known as the sclera, and removes a tiny area oI the
trabecular meshwork which enables the aqueous humor to discharge.
|7|
This lowers the internal
pressure within the eye and lessens the chance oI Iuture damage to the optic nerve.
|7|
Cases with
pseudophacodonesis and dislocated IOL have been increasing in number, according to one report.
|28|
In cataract surgery, complications resulting Irom PEX include capsular rupture and vitreous
loss.
|2|
Ŷ Drug therapy. There are speculations that iI genetics plays a role in PEX, and iI the speciIic
genes involved can be identiIied, that possibly drugs can be developed to counteract these
mutations or their eIIects.
|6|
But such drugs have not been developed as oI 2011.
Patients should continue to have regular eye examinations so that physicians can monitor pressure levels
and check whether medicines are working.
Research
Scientists and doctors are actively exploring how PEX happens, its causes, and how it might be
prevented or mitigated. Research activity to explore what causes glaucoma has been characterized as
"intense".
|7|
There has been research into the genetic basis oI PEX. One researcher speculated about a
Page 6 of 9 Pseudoexfoliation syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4/15/2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoexfoliation_syndrome
possible "two-hit hypothesis" in which a single mutation in the LOXL1 gene puts people at risk Ior
PEX, but that a second still-to-be-Iound mutation has some eIIect on the proteins, possibly aIIecting
bonds between chemicals, such that the proteins are more likely to clump together and disrupt the
outIlow oI aqueous humor.

Glaucoma shares a number of features with
degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig's disease. Ìn all of these
diseases, age and family history are significant risk
factors, and specific areas of the brain are damaged
over time. Ìn glaucoma, the only difference is that the "specific area of the brain¨ affected is the eye
and optic nerve!
Ìndeed the eye's retina and optic nerve are a part of the brain: during early development, a small part
of the brain pouches out and becomes the retina and optic nerve. Ìnside the eye, a group of neurons
called retinal ganglion cells collect all of the visual information and pass it down their extensions,
called axons, through the optic nerve and back to the rest of the brain. The ganglion cell, which
collects all the vision information from the other retinal cells, is the one type of cell that is initially
damaged by glaucoma.
The optic nerve continues to be a major focus for researching the underlying causes of glaucoma.
Whether due to mechanical trauma, decreased blood flow, or other causes, optic nerve axon injury
causes changes in retinal ganglion cells, eventually causing cell death. Researchers have observed
that specific areas of injured optic nerve axons and retinal ganglion cell loss match the peripheral
vision damage from glaucoma.
Because the retinal ganglion cell axon stretches from the
retina through the optic nerve to the brain, its surrounding
cells also become damaged by glaucoma. Within the retina,
other cells, such as amacrine cells, degenerate and rewire
their connections after retinal ganglion cells are lost.
There are also changes in the brain within the lateral
geniculate nucleus (the main brain target of optic nerve
axons), and even the visual cortex, which is the part of the
brain that helps us interpret visual information.

Thus, in addition to treatments directed at lowering eye pressure, still the mainstay of glaucoma
therapy, there may be opportunities to develop treatments directed at the retina and the brain. Some
promising treatments that promote nerve health, called neurotrophic factors, could help at multiple
places in the visual pathway.
For example, neurotrophic factors such as ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) may keep retinal
ganglion cells from dying, a process called neuroprotection; they may increase axon regrowth down
the optic nerve, called regeneration; and they may improve the support between the dying retinal
ganglion cells and their surrounding cells in the retina and brain, called neuroenhancement.
The understanding that one key to glaucoma is in the connections within the retina and to the brain
has led to exciting advances in research that may well lead to new potential treatments.

'I enjoy the large range of ages of my patients and the positive impact
on quality of life for my patients. I also enjoy the rapidly expanding
technologies and positive patient interactions. I am open and
compassionate, and I take time to relieve patients' fears and
apprehensions. I believe eyecare should be fun for patients. I believe
they should receive high-quality care and a sense of being taken care
of. Seeing my patients become more at ease and no longer strictly
focusing on their medical problems but more on the normal things in
their lives is most gratifying for me."

"I've had a long-time interest in perception and neuroscience going back to
college. That combined with the powerful therapeutic potential of ophthalmic
surgery is what interested me in this field. The eye is the most fascinating
organ in the body. I'm still excited and amazed as I view the eye under the
microscope. I also enjoy the broad range of people I meet each day in the
