We evaluated the prevalence of exfoliation syndrome (ES) with or without glaucoma seen in our Department over a 32-month period. We could identify a total of 59 patients with ES, 30 males and 29 females. All the cases were aged 50 years or more except one case, with the peak in the 8th decade. The ages of the cases averaged 70.0 +/- 8.34 years. ES was present unilaterally in 47 cases (85%) and bilaterally in 12 (15%). Glaucoma was associated in 37 out of the 59 cases of ES (63%). Males with ES seemed to be more prone to develop glaucoma than females. We observed 96 non-ES cases with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) during the same period. The ages of the cases averaged 59.6 +/- 15.4 years. Our survey indicates that ES is not an uncommon occurrence among the Japanese population served by our Department. The incidence of ES as a whole approximates three-fifths of that of POAG.
我们评估了在32个月期间于我院眼科就诊的有或没有青光眼的剥脱综合征（ES）的患病率。我们共识别出59例ES患者，其中男性30例，女性29例。除1例患者外，所有病例年龄均在50岁及以上，发病高峰在80岁年龄段。病例的平均年龄为70.0±8.34岁。ES单侧发病47例（85%），双侧发病12例（15%）。59例ES患者中有37例（63%）合并青光眼。患有ES的男性似乎比女性更容易患青光眼。在同一时期，我们观察到96例原发性开角型青光眼（POAG）非ES病例。这些病例的平均年龄为59.6±15.4岁。我们的调查表明，在我院服务的日本人群中，ES并非罕见。ES的总体发病率约为POAG的五分之三。
