Experimental intraocular lens implantation in the rabbit eye and in the mouse peritoneal space

Abstract
Lter's implant cytology technique. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic studies were performed. Macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblast-like cells were the major components identified. Occasional formations of foreign-body giant cells were seen. The responses observed on IOLs implanted in the rabbit eye were generally milder than those observed on IOLs implanted in the mouse peritoneal space. *Reprint requests to K.
