摘要： Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a complex age\|related disease in which flaky white floes deposit in the anterior chamber of the eye and other tissues in the eye, and cause glaucoma. Epidemiological studies showed that XFS increases risk of coronary artery disease, hypertension，cerebrovascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm， peripheral vascular disease, sensorineural hearing loss. The exact mechanism underlying the development of vascular complications in XFS remains poorly understood, although abnormal elastic fiber synthesis in vessel walls, elevated serum antiphospholipid antibody levels, increased oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and hyperhomocysteinemia are all hypothesized to play contributory roles.
