Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is highly prevalent in Greece, affecting 87.8% of patients undergoing glaucoma surgery. This study details the characteristics of this severe glaucoma subtype in Northern Greece.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is frequently observed in Greece.
  • Limited data exists on its prevalence and specific characteristics within the Greek population.
  • Understanding this condition is crucial for managing severe glaucoma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in patients undergoing trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma in Greece.
  • To describe the clinical characteristics of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in this specific population.
  • To highlight the contribution of pseudoexfoliation to severe glaucoma in Northern Greece.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of case notes from patients undergoing trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma.

  • Direct re-examination of the patient cohort.
  • Statistical analysis to determine prevalence and describe characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • The prevalence of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma was found to be 87.8% in the studied population.
    • Detailed characteristics of the disease process were observed and are discussed.
    • Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma was identified as a significant factor in severe glaucoma cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma represents a major cause of severe glaucoma in Northern Greece.
    • The high prevalence underscores the need for targeted screening and management strategies.
    • Further research into the specific etiological factors in this region is warranted.
