Abstract :Objective: We aimed to compare the intraocular pressure insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IOP);, keratometry values insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K);, and anterior segment parameters of patients with clinically unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PEX); with the other eyes without PEX and the control group. Material and Method: Fifty four patients with unilateral PEX findings and 40 participants without PEX findings in both eyes were included in the study as a control group. IOP was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. K values and anterior segment parameters [central corneal thickness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CCT);, anterior chamber depth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ACD);, iridocorneal angle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICA);, and anterior chamber volume insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ACV);] were measured using Scheimpflug imaging technique. Results: The mean age of PEX patients was 67.9±9.2 years, while the mean age of the control group was 58.9±5.7 years. The IOP values of the eyes with PEX were significantly higher than the other eyes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.02);, and there was no significant difference between them and the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.59);. In terms of K values and anterior segment parameters, the measurements of eyes with PEX and the other eyes, and eyes with PEX and control group were similar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. Conclusion: In our study, eyes with PEX had higher IOP values than the fellow eyes and control group. In addition, thinner CCT, narrower ACD, and ICA values were found in eyes with PEX than in the other eyes. However, these values were not statistically significant.
