  • Title: The ultrastructure of the human lens capsule. II. Cataracta complicata. A transmission electron microscopic study.
    Author: Seland JH.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1978 Oct; 56(5):723-34. PubMed ID: 696261.
    Abstract:
    Eight human cataractous lenses extracted from eyes suffering from uveitis have been examined by transmission electron microscopy. The following changes have been demonstrated: cellular proliferation, fibrillogenesis and formation of osmiophilic, electron-dense amorphous structures. The changes were most pronounced in young lenses but had no features in common with the FEC (fibrillopathia epitheliocapsularis) syndrome.
