Exfoliation Syndrome

Exfoliation Syndrome, also known as Exfoliation Glaucoma, is an eye condition characterized by the accumulation of flaky material in the eye's drainage system. This buildup can lead to increased eye pressure, potentially causing damage to the optic nerve and resulting in glaucoma. It often develops gradually and may not have noticeable symptoms initially. Risk factors include age and family history. Regular eye check-ups can help detect the condition early, allowing for timely management to preserve vision. Following a treatment plan can help control eye pressure and minimize the risk of vision loss.
