title: [Pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma in eastern Algeria. Clinical study].
abstract: The authors present the results of a study concerning 656 patients, over 40 years old, presenting a glaucoma, or a Capsular pseudoexfoliation, or both. These patients have been admitted at the Annaba Ophthalmology Clinic between September 1st, 1984 and September 1st, 1987. Frequency, age, sex, glaucoma-CPE association, opening and pigmentation of the iris-cornea angle, as well as the level of intraocular pressure, are studied. It turns out that the pseudoexfoliative glaucoma represents 53% of all glaucoma, that it is a particular form of primitive glaucoma, generally with open angle, of severe evolution, but that it can be controlled with an adequate treatment, often surgical.
