Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PEX), Keratopathie With Bacterial Keratitis

Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome (PEX), Keratopathie With Bacterial Keratitis
The basic PEX-Syndrome is masked and is not diagnosed because of the corneal edema. Note the corneal vascularisation below proves that the edema has been there for some time. A secondary ocular hypertension is easily overlooked and does not get treated. The cornea is infiltrated nasally inferiorly due to a bacterial superinfection. PEX material is on anterior lens capsule and retrocorneally (arrows).
