Abstract
Occurrence of exfoliation syndrome was studied in 172 eyes enucleated for haemorrhagic and absolute glaucoma in 1962-82, using histopathological techniques. Exfoliation was found in 33% of haemorrhagic glaucoma cases and in 22% of absolute glaucoma. In patients over 70, exfoliation was found in 53% of the haemorrhagic cases and in 46% of the absolute glaucoma cases. Capsular glaucoma may provoke haemorrhagic glaucoma and may lead to blindness and enucleation of eye with or without vascular catastrophe.Keywords
