title: [Scanning electronic microscopy of lens after mechanical eye injury].
abstract: The results of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) of 12 lenses after mechanical eye injury with rupture of Zinn ligament fibers in elderly patients. SEM results are compared to those of lenses after senile cataract cryoextraction including pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). Characteristic features of lens capsule changes after mechanical eye injury are revealed including PES as a pathologic lens aging.
