Acta Ophthalmol Scand. 1997 Jun;75(3):255-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0420.1997.tb00767.x.

Abstract

The hypothesis that ocular pseudo-exfoliation syndrome is part of a generalized disorder has been tested by suggesting that subjects having this syndrome would have increased mortality. However, no association was found between presence of ocular pseudo-exfoliation syndrome and mortality.
