Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a relatively widespread generalized age-related disease, in which abnormal fibrillar extracellular material is produced and accumulates in many tissues. It seems reasonable to evaluate ocular pulse amplitude in patients with PEX. Purpose. To evaluate ocular pulse amplitude in patients with PEX. Methods. 460 eyes of 230 patients were enrolled in the prospective study. We evaluated ocular pulse amplitude and perfusion pressure. Results. Difference in perfusion pressure between groups was not significant. Ocular pulse amplitude was significantly lower in patients with PEX. Conclusion. Ocular pulse amplitude decrease indicates damage of ocular blood flow.
