“…The incidence of XFS increases steadily with age and most affected patients are older than 50 years of age. There are few reported XFS cases younger than 40 years 116,117 ; notably, the finding that these cases shared previous intraocular surgery as a common feature in their history may denote a simple coincidental association or some sort of causal relationship. Amini et al 118 described four patients with glaucoma younger than 50 years with early signs of XFS subsequent to multiple intraocular procedures.…”

“…trauma Konstas et al 54 reported a case of unilateral PEX in an eye of a 17-year-old female who had previously undergone surgery. PEX material was found on the ciliary body and the anterior lens surface.…”

“…at a relatively young age subsequent to trauma. Konstas et al 54 hypothesize that trauma to the anterior segment of the eye, particularly to the iris, causes the release of growth factors that trigger the onset of PEX in a genetically predisposed individual at a relatively young age. At present, there is no additional evidence to support or refute this hypothesis.…”

“…A major review of PEX syndrome reported in the literature over the last 20 years (from 1976 to 2000) revealed the youngest reported patient to have been 17 years old and to have had trabeculectomy surgery in infancy (Konstas et al 1997). Most of the young cases reported involve keratoconus patients who developed PEX after receiving penetrating keratoplasty from elderly donors (Hørven & Hutchinson 1967;Konstas & Williamson 1992).…”

“…Most of the young cases reported involve keratoconus patients who developed PEX after receiving penetrating keratoplasty from elderly donors (Hørven & Hutchinson 1967;Konstas & Williamson 1992). There are also patients who develop PEX after intraocular surgery involving the iris in childhood (Konstas et al 1997). Several explanations have been proposed for the occurrence of PEX after keratoplasty, including mere coincidence, a reaction to surgical trauma or an immune reaction to donor cornea (Ku¨chle & Naumann 1992).…”
