Abstract
We performed slitlamp microscopy and specular microscopy in 15 patients who had cataract surgery to determine the clinical course of postoperative membranous proliferation from the anterior capsulotomy margin onto the intraocular lens optic. Membranous proliferation observed in 11 of the 15 eyes eventually resolved in 10 eyes. We speculate that lens epithelial cells were the origin of the membrane.Keywords
