Abstract

Aim of the study is to determine connection between pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and symptoms and signs of ocular surface disease. Tear film break-up time test, Schirmer II test and assessment of lid parallel conjunctival folds were performed in 40 PEX syndrome patients and 40 controls. All data was statistically analyzed. Results show statistically significant difference in every component between groups, most prominent in tear film break up time test. We have concluded that patients with PEX syndrome have higher predisposition of tear function disorders and that both components of dry eye syndrome are present in PEX syndrome.

Abstract in Croatian

Cilj ove studije je utvrditi povezanost između pseudoeksfolijacijskog sindroma (PEX) i simptoma i znakova bolesti očne površine. Test vremena pucanja suznog filma, Schirmer II test i procjena nabora spojnice paralelnih s rubom vjeđe su provedeni kod 40 pacijenata s PEX-om i 40 u kontrolnoj skupini. Svi podaci su statistički analizirani. Rezultati su pokazali statistički značajnu razliku među skupinama u svakoj pojedinoj komponenti, najizraženije kod testa vremena pucanja suznog filma. Zaključili smo da pacijenti s PEX-om imaju veću predispoziciju poremećaja suzne funkcije i da su obje komponente sindroma suhog oka prisutne u PEX-u.
