| pubmed-article:10379604 | pubmed:abstractText | If, at the time of glaucoma diagnosis, the intraocular pressure (IOP) is higher and the initial field loss more advanced in glaucomatous eyes with than without exfoliation, the cause of the optic disc damage has been suggested to be the high IOP associated with the exfoliation syndrome (EXS). We decided to investigate whether EXS alone, without the contributory effect of measured raised IOP, is a risk factor for optic nerve damage. | lld:pubmed |
