Abstract
The deposition of fibrin on the intraocular lens (IOL) in two cases of failed implantation is reported. In one case the network of fibrin fibers was isolated on the surface of an IOL that also showed a clear reactive protein film populated by macrophages and giant cells. In the other case the fibrin network was closely related to sessile macrophages on the implant surface. The presence of fibrin on IOLs indicates an acute phase of increased regional vascular permeability and is clinically important.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
