Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma

Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma is a type of glaucoma caused by a condition where tiny flakes of material accumulate in the eye. These flakes can block the eye's drainage system, leading to an increase in eye pressure. Over time, this pressure can damage the optic nerve, which is essential for vision. People with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma may experience vision loss if not treated. It's important to have regular eye exams to monitor eye pressure and discuss any concerns with an eye care professional, as early detection and management can help preserve vision.
