<unk> , often abbreviated as<unk>  and sometimes as<unk>  or<unk> , is an aging-related systemic disease manifesting itself primarily in the eyes which is characterized by the accumulation of microscopic granular amyloid-like protein fibers. Its cause is unknown, although there is speculation that there may be a genetic basis. It is more prevalent in women than men, and in persons past the age of seventy. Its prevalence in different human populations varies; for example, it is prevalent in Scandinavia. The buildup of protein clumps can block normal drainage of the eye fluid called the aqueous humor and can cause, in turn, a buildup of pressure leading to glaucoma and loss of vision<unk>  glaucoma, exfoliation glaucoma). As worldwide populations become older because of shifts in demography,<unk>  may become a matter of greater concern.
