Abstract
A study of pseudoexfoliation syndrome frequency has been evaluated in the northwest of Greece (Epirus). In 700 examined patients (.gtoreq. 50 years old) pseudoexfoliation was found in 170 (24.3%). the frequency of pseudoexfoliation increases with age; no difference was noticed between sexes. Ocular hypertension (> 22 mmHg) was found in 39.5% of the patients.Keywords
