| Popis: | To evaluate the changes in accommodation amplitude in cases with pseudoexfoliation. Twenty-nine eyes having pseudoexfoliation and 37 normal eyes aged between 40–60 years were included in the study. After ophthalmic examination, accommodation amplitude was measured using Powerrefractor II. Besides, axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness was measured by A-scan ultrasonography. The results obtained were evaluated by independent samples' t-test. There was no difference in mean age between cases with pseudoexfoliation and normal cases (P=0.131). Mean accommodation amplitude was significantly lower in cases with pseudoexfoliation (P=0.002). Axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness measurements did not show significant change between groups (P=0.55, P=0.66, P=0.36, respectively). In the presence of pseudoexfoliation, ciliary apparatus can be affected and accommodation amplitude can be decreased in earlier ages. |
