a Photomicrograph of epithelial cells in the stella lentis iridica in an eye with an unperforated ICL. There is a mixture of light and dark cells, and the cells appear to have a markedly irregular morphology. b Electron-microscope image of epithelial cells in the stella lentis iridica in an eye containing an unperforated ICL. The organelles show no structural abnormality, but there is a distinct contrast between light and dark cells, and the latter have many enlarged cisterns in the granular endoplasmic reticulum. c Photomicrograph of the stella lentis hyaloidea in an eye bearing an unperforated ICL. No particular abnormality can be seen. d Electron-microscope image of subepithelial fiber cells in the stella lentis iridica in an eye fitted with an unperforated ICL. The cells vary in size and contain granular material
