Abstract
• This report describes a patient with true exfoliation of the lens capsule. Recurrent anterior uveitis eventually necessitated lens extraction from the left eye. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated areas of capsular dehiscence and evidence of in vivo cellular degeneration. A comparison of true and pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule is made and the term "capsular delamination" is proposed for the case reported.
