Abstract
We investigated the origin of fibronectin (FN) on five posterior and four anterior chamber explanted intraocular lenses (IOLs) using immunohistochemical methods. Cellular deposits (assumed to be macrophages) and fibrous or membrane-like proteinaceous deposits on the IOLs showed immunoreactivity to an antibody against cellular FN. These proteinaceous deposits were believed to be products of the cells that adhered to the IOLs.
