Abstract
Generalized peripheral iris transluminance was investigated in 212 eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) with or without coexisting glaucoma and in 100 control eyes by the use of a diascleral transilluminator tip. All eyes were blue or blue-gray. Abnormal transluminance was found in 45% of the PXS group and in 18% of the control group (P < 0.001). The influence of age, PXS without glaucoma, capsular glaucoma, cataracts, and adult-onset diabetes on transluminance was analyzed. The effect of PXS with or without coexisting glaucoma was statistically significant (P < 0.01) when other factors were adjusted using logistic regression analysis.
