    Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEXS) is a significant cause of open-angle glaucoma, characterized by abnormal fibrillar material accumulation.

  • 2

    The study assessed retinal layer thickness, peripapillary RNFL, minimum rim width, and choroidal thickness in unilateral PEXS patients and controls.

  • 3

    One hundred thirty eyes from 65 unilateral PEXS patients and 80 healthy eyes were evaluated to identify retinal structural changes.

  • 4

    Recent imaging advancements allow for detailed analysis of retinal layers, aiding in the early detection of glaucoma-related damage.

  • 5

    Identifying retinal changes in PEXS may provide insights into disease progression and systemic characteristics beyond the affected eye.
