The trabecular meshwork has a unique appearance, an important location, and it is not exceedingly small. Yet confusion and controversy still exists concerning its anatomy. This is readily understandable, for in studies of eye pathology meridional sections are made, in which only an unsatisfactory lateral view of the meshwork is seen.In sections of the eye as usually made in the pathology laboratory, the trabeculae appear as a number of interrupted linear fibers running from the end of Descemet's membrane to the scleral spur and the ciliary muscle.
