Abstract

Aim of the study is to determine connection between pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and symptoms and signs of
ocular surface disease. Tear fi lm break-up time test, Schirmer II test and assessment of lid parallel conjunctival folds
were performed in 40 PEX syndrome patients and 40 controls. All data was statistically analyzed. Results show statistically
signifi cant difference in every component between groups, most prominent in tear fi lm break up time test. We have
concluded that patients with PEX syndrome have higher predisposition of tear function disorders and that both components
of dry eye syndrome are present in PEX syndrome.
