Abstract
The authors observed 27 patients (39 eyes) with glaucoma in the course of the pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule syndrome treated in the period of 1979-1989. In all the patients the corneo-scleral angle was open with a considerable amount of pigment; 30 eyes exhibited opacification of the lens. The conservative anti-glaucomatous treatment was successful in only 2 patients. Control of the IOP was attained in 5 eyes after a laser trabeculoplasty and in 23 eyes after the Elliot-Fronimopoulos goniotrepanation. Discussed was the lesion of the visual function occurring in the presented syndrome.
