Choroidal Vascular Changes in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma and their Fellow Eyes

Alghazo Rosa

Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) is a prevalent form of secondary open-angle glaucoma characterized by the deposition of abnormal extracellular material on ocular tissues, particularly the anterior segment. Although its effects on intraocular pressure and trabecular meshwork have been well-documented, the impact of PEXG on the choroidal vascular system remains less explored. This article aims to review and analyze existing literature on choroidal vascular changes in eyes affected by PEXG and their fellow eyes without the disease. Understanding these vascular changes may shed light on the underlying pathophysiology and provide insights into potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
