Pulsatile ocular blood flow in patients with pseudoexfoliation.

Purpose: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is one of the most frequent causes of open-angle glaucoma and is statistically significant associated with a high risk of hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction or stroke and retinal vein thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) in pseudoexfoliation syndrome without (PEX) and with glaucoma (PEG).

Methods: Seventeen eyes with PEX, 17 with PEG and 11 normal eyes of age-matched patients were enrolled.
