Article Synopsis
- Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PEX) is a genetic disorder that leads to the accumulation of elastin fibers in the eye and other tissues, and is a common cause of secondary glaucoma.
- A study compared hearing levels between patients with and without PEX, involving 48 individuals aged 59 to 75, focusing on their audiometric results.
- The findings revealed that 82.7% of patients with PEX experienced hearing loss, significantly higher than the 56.8% in the control group, indicating a possible link between PEX and increased hearing impairment.
