Purpose:
To present early-onset ocular manifestations of pseudoexfoliation syndrome in young patients who had undergone multiple intraocular procedures.
Methods:
This is an observational case series, introducing four cases with histories of multiple intraocular procedures for glaucoma.
Results:
All reported cases demonstrated typical manifestations of pseudoexfoliation unilaterally in the eye that had undergone multiple surgeries. The diagnosis of pseudoexfoliation was made prior to the age of 50 in all subjects and the earliest manifestation was at the age of 18 in a case with primary congenital glaucoma
Conclusion:
The role of multiple surgical procedures, in addition to genetic predisposition, should be further investigated as a possible inciting factor predisposing to pseudoexfoliation in younger individuals.
