An observational study in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, sponsored by Assiut University. Status unknown. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-06-26.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome Is a common disorder in Egypt. IT is one of the common causes of coexisting cataract and glaucoma. It may be associated with a less than normal endothelial count.
The corneal Endothelium is essential for the maintenance of normal corneal hydration, thickness, and transparency.
In patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome , quantitative and qualitative morphological changes of the corneal endothelium have been demonstrated in specular and electron microscopic studies.
Specular microscopy is a non-invasive technique to access the structure and function of the corneal endothelium.
Our research question is to study Endothelial cell count in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome \& compare it to age matched group.
72 studies on the registry are indexed under Exfoliation Syndrome; 20 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 76 across 38 observational studies indexed under Exfoliation Syndrome.
