Summary The trabecular meshwork of a non-glaucomatous eye with the exfoliation syndrome was investigated. The exfoliation material was found mainly in massive deposits in the subendothelial region of the outer and inner wall of Schlemm's canal, in the cribriform area and the uveal meshwork. The other alterations of the trabeculum corneosclerale corresponded to the age of the patient. The concept that the accumulation of exfoliation material is an important pathogenetic factor in the development of glaucoma was not confirmed by this study.
