Pseudoexfoliation of the Lens Capsule and Depth of Anterior Chamber in Northern Iceland

A study on the occurrence of pseudoexfoliatio lentis was performed on an Icelandic population consisting of 634 persons of all age groups. The frequency was high, 3.16% at 40–49 years, 4.29% at 50–59 years, 13.56%, at 60–69 years and 43% at the age of more than 70 years. In addition, two persons less than 40 years of age had pseudoexfoliatio lentis. Depth of the anterior chamber did not significantly deviate from the Scandinavian comparison material.
