DOI: 10.1097/ijg.0000000000000903
Abstract: Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a common age-related matrix process resulting from excessive production and disordered assembly of elastic microfibrillar components into highly cross-linked fibrillary aggregates throughout the anterior eye segment and various organ systems. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ijg.0000000000000906
Abstract: The most important characteristic of exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is that it involves a greater risk of developing glaucoma. In comparison with other forms of open-angle glaucoma, exfoliation glaucoma is more resistant to medical therapy and… read more here.
