Abstract

Prospective study of 302 eyes with pseudoexfoliative syndrome (173 persons). We value 32 clinical signs in each patient and several degrees relating them with the ocular tension (OT). The results show that the most intimately united are the diffuse pigmentation, the Sampaolesi line, the papillar pigmentary atrophy, and the deposit of pseudoexfoliative material in pupil, although only the first three are directly related as a cause with the OT as the effect. In the glaucomatous group, the Sampaolesi line, is the factor that most influences in the OT. We value from these signs, the different hypotheses about the etiopathogeny of this glaucoma.
