Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Cell Biology, and Neuroscience, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL 33136Open angle glaucoma (OAG) is a family of glaucomas that are differentiated by clinical features usually apparent at the slit lamp. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of glaucoma but POAG is a diagnosis of exclusion. A diagnosis of POAG presumes that no secondary form of glaucoma has been identified ie pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, or iridocorneal glaucoma. Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is the most commonly identified secondary OAG in the world. Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is diagnosed by the presence of a characteristic white dandruff-like material in the anterior segment in the anterior chamber in the eye. Since the formal description of pseudoexfoliation by Lindberg almost a hundred years ago, the composition of the pseudoexfoliation material and how pseudoexfoliation material causes glaucoma is still not well known.
