| pseudoexfoliation | A condition simulating exfoliation in some respects, but in which the surface layer is not actually detached. Pseudoexfoliation of lens capsule, deposition in all parts of the eye, including the lens capsule, of a material derived from basement membranes. If this material clogs the trabecular meshwork, impeding the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, glaucoma may result. See: exfoliation syndrome, capsular glaucoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
