The retrospective study of patients with retinal vein
occlusion and frequency of pseudoexfoliation
syndrome is made in this study. Retinal vein occlusion
is the second most common type of retinal vascular
disorder, after diabetic retinal disease, and may
develop with a consequent reduction in visual acuity.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an age-related disease
characterized by the production and accumulation of a
fibrillar extracellular material in several ocular tissues
We have analyzed data of 73 patients with retinal vein
occlusion. It was detected that risk of central vein
occlusion is higher in patients with pseudoexfoliation
syndrome (23,3% of patients were diagnosed as having
pseudoexfoliation syndrome). In the branch retinal
vein occlusion group only 9,3% of patients had
pseudoexfoliation syndrome. In control group only
8,6% of patients had this syndrome. Control group was
made of 80 patients similar in age without any retinal
and cardiovascular abnormalities, patients with
episodes of ocular hypertension, glaucoma, and those
who had undergone cataract surgery were excluded
from the study. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome may be
considered as an independent risk factor for
development of central retinal vein occlusion
