Corneal Alterations Associated with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Glaucoma: A Literature Review.

A systematic literature review was performed evaluating articles examining the effects of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and glaucoma (PEXG) on the cornea with a focus on the corneal endothelium. We searched for articles relevant to pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and corneal endothelial cell counts using Pubmed, Google Scholar Database, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases published prior to September of 2016. We then screened the references of these retrieved papers and performed a Web of Science cited reference search.
