%X OBJECTIVE: Assess the prevalence £¿of PEX and identify the associated glaucoma and £¿cataract.£¿

STUDY DESIGN & METHODOLOGY: A sample of 6,650 patients (age ¡Ý40 years) that attended the single £¿ophthalmic private clinic for £¿different complaints, for five years (January 2013 until January 2018), those diagnosed with £¿PEX £¿enrolled in this study, with a total number of 296 £¿patients.£¿

RESULTS: £¿14 (4.7%) patients with age from 40-49 years, 54(18.2%) from 50-£¿£¿59 years, 102 (34.5%) from £¿£¿60-69 years, and 126(42.6%) equal or older £¿than 70 years. Close sex frequencies were observed, £¿with 153(51.7%) £¿males, and 143(48.3%) females. In the current study, the prevalence of £¿PEX £¿was 4.45% (95% confidence interval (CI), £¿£¿3.98-4.97). There was a statistically insignificant £¿relationship between PEG £¿or advanced glaucoma with age or sex, but cataract was £¿significantly £¿associated with older age and male sex.£¿

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome was 4.45%, with a sharp increase after the £¿age £¿of 50 years. Although the £¿prevalence of PEG and advanced glaucoma increased with age, it £¿was £¿neither statistically associated with it, nor with sex£¿.£¿£¿ Cataract prevalence £¿was associated £¿with increased age and male sex.
