What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how pseudoexfoliation syndrome affects the cornea's biomechanics, clarity, and the structures in the front part of the eye. This study compares patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome to age-matched individuals without the condition to understand differences in corneal optical properties and structural features. Participants will undergo detailed eye examinations using specialized devices including Pentacam-AXL, HD Analyzer, Corvis ST, OCT-A Angiovue, IOLMaster V.5.4, and Topcon SP-1P. These devices measure aspects like corneal optical density through backscatter and forward-scatter methods, corneal stiffness and elasticity, and various structural parameters such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and endothelial cell density. The study aims to evaluate and compare these measurements between affected and control groups. During the study, participants will be assessed through several imaging and measurement techniques that take about one hour. Researchers will monitor corneal optical density by backscatter and forward-scatter measurements, among other evaluations. The study focuses on precise comparisons of corneal and anterior segment features to better understand the impact of pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
