title: Pigmentation of the anterior chamber angle in normal and pseudoexfoliative eyes.
abstract: Anterior chamber angle pigmentation was gonioscopically graded in 833 persons recruited for the KEYS (Kuopio Eye Survey) during 1989. Pseudoexfoliation was observed in 8.5% in either eye from those born in 1924, the figure being 13.2% for those born in 1914. Anterior chamber angle pigmentation was found to be significantly heavier in eyes with pseudoexfoliation.
