Abstract:
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is an age-related systemic disease,with the features of fibrous stripped content widely deposit on the eye and other systemic organizations,which is associated with a rapid progress of cataract and secondary glaucoma in partial patients.The present study showed that the basement membrane injury,autoimmune disorders,and genetic factors were related to PEX,but the exact pathogenesis of PEX is still unclear.The purpose of this review was to discuss the recent progress in the pathogenesis and histopathology,expecting to contribute to the prevention and treatment of PEX.
