PURPOSE. To determine the effect of pseudoexfoliation syndrome on ocular refractive astigmatism. METHODS. One hundred eyes of 100 patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and 100 eyes of 100 age- and sex-matched control subjects were included in the study. Refractive astigmatism was measured prior to ocular examination performing cycloplegic autorefractive measures using an autorefractokeratometer (Charops, MRK3100). RESULTS. All patients in the study and control group had myopic astigmatism. Refractive and ocular residual astigmatism were found to be significantly higher in the pseudoexfoliation syndrome group in comparison to the control group (p<0.05). The mean keratometry reading was significantly steeper in the study group than in the control eyes. CONCLUSIONS. Significant refractive and ocular residual astigmatism were found in pseudoexfoliation syndrome. (Eur J Ophthalmol 2009; 19: 873-5)
