Clinical Features of Patients with Exfoliation Glaucoma Requiring Surgical Intervention.

Conclusions: The XFG patients referred to our department for initial examination were older than the POAG and NTG patients, and their duration of treatment before referral was shorter. Moreover, intraocular pressure and the eye drop medication score were higher in the XFG patients. A significantly higher percentage of XFG patients required surgical intervention compared to patients with other disease types. PMID: 32655945 [PubMed]
