Scanning electron microscopic study of eye tissues.
We present a survey of our current investigations on lens and corneal tissue. Using scanning electron microscope techniques, we have studied lens fiber organization, lens capsule and subcapsular epithelium, the effect of Nd:YAG laser treatment on the lens, the endothelial effects of a relatively traumatic introduction of an intraocular lens, with and without sodium hyaluronate (Healon) pretreatment, and the epithelial reaction to foldings in Descemet's membrane (Descemet's folds).
