Abstract
An intraocular lens implant had to be removed 4 yr after its implantation from the eye of a patient on warfarin (Coumadin) medication because of repeated intraocular hemorrhages. Implant cytology staining revealed a continuous membrane on the removed implant that contained relatively few large foreign body giant cells and great numbers of small fibroblast-like cells. An impressive clean-up function of the fibroblast-like cells with phagocytosis of whole erythrocytes was observed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
