Abstract
SUMMARY Cells with protoplasmic pigment granules on the surface of intraocular lens implants can be divided by their basic nature into histiocytes, epithelioid cells, giant cells, small fibroblast-like cells, iris melanocytes, pigment epithelium, and probably corneal endothelium. All these cells are part of a cellular membranes that have been observed on lens implants at times between eight months and three and a half years after lens implantation.Keywords
