Abstract

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a relatively widespread generalized age-related disease of connective tissue. The condition of meibomian glands in patients with PEX was not evaluated yet. Aim. To evaluate the condition of meibomian glands in PEX. Methods. Overall, 132 eyes of 66 patients with PEX syndrome and 128 eyes of 64 patients without it were enrolled in this prospective study. Results. The signs of atonic changes in meibomian glands were similar in both groups. Meibomian glands dysfunction was significantly more expressed in patients with PEX (p < 0,05).
