Abstract
Exfoliation (pseudoexfoliation; PEX) syndrome is the single most common ide ntifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma, however, very few investigators are engaged in basic research on this disease. To stimulate the field, the Fir st International Think Tank on Exfoliation Syndrome was held in New York in July 1999, comprising clinicians and scientists. This report is a summary of the proceedings of this meeting.
