title: Continuous sheet of lens epithelium on an intraocular lens: pathological confirmation of specular microscopy.
abstract: A monolayer of proliferating lens epithelium on the anterior surface of an intraocular lens was found cytologically and confirmed histologically in a postmortem examination of one eye of a 57-year-old man. The man had had extracapsular cataract surgery five years earlier. This pathological finding confirms observations with specular microscopy.
