ABSTRACT
Exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma comprise a unique age-related ocular aggregopathy characterized by the accumulation of protein complex aggregates in different ocular structures. Recent literature and studies have expanded our knowledge of the clinical characteristic features, phenotypical variations, and molecular pathophysiology associated with disease onset or development of glaucoma. Despite years of studies on the various epidemiological, clinical, and molecular facets of the disease, the exact mechanism of disease onset, formation of aggregates, and the events that trigger the development of glaucoma marking irreversibility in the disease remains elusive. This review elaborates on the existing and new insights that we have gained over the years and highlights gaps in the knowledge about the disease that need future exploration.
