Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PEX) is an eye condition where a flaky, protein-like material builds up in the eye, affecting its structure. This accumulation can lead to increased eye pressure and is associated with a higher risk of glaucoma, cataracts, and other vision problems. PEX is often age-related and may not cause noticeable symptoms initially, but regular eye check-ups are essential for early detection and management. Individuals with PEX may need closer monitoring and treatment to protect their vision and overall eye health.
