Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome Is a common disorder in Egypt. IT is one of the common causes of coexisting cataract and glaucoma. It may be associated with a less than normal endothelial count.
The corneal Endothelium is essential for the maintenance of normal corneal hydration, thickness, and transparency. In patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome , quantitative and qualitative morphological changes of the corneal endothelium have been demonstrated in specular and electron microscopic studies. Specular microscopy is a non-invasive technique to access the structure and function of the corneal endothelium. Our research question is to study Endothelial cell count in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome \& compare it to age matched group.

Comparison between corneal Endothelial count in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and age matched group
Comparison between endothelial cell count in patients with Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and age matched controls.
The corneal Endothelial cell count in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome will be measured by the specular microscopy \& compared with the normal endothelial count in people at the same group
