Abstract

Background: Central corneal thickness (CCT) in patients of pseudoexfoliation syndrome with glaucoma (PEXG) and without glaucoma (PEX) using specular microscopy. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants and Methods: Eyes were categorized into three groups: (i) 43 normal eyes; (ii) 32 eyes with PEX syndrome without glaucoma; (iii) 35 eyes with PEXG. Central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured using a non contact specular microscope. Results:. Mean CCT in eyes with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (520.34 ± 29.81 µm)  was lower than in the control group (533.86 ± 25.48 µm) with p values = 0.037. Mean CCT in eyes with PEX (527.91 ± 30.7 µm) is thinner than in the control group, but no statistically significant difference. Conclusions: The study shows that corneas are thinner in patients with pseudoexfolaition glaucoma (PEXG) as compared to pseudoexfoliation syndrome without glaucoma (PEX) and controls (CNT).
