Abstract
Normal human lenses obtained from an eye bank, and the central nuclear regions from nuclear sclerotic cataracts, were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Lens fibres were found to possess a varied array of well defined interlocking processes. Fibres from brunescent nuclear cataracts showed complete preservation of membrane architecture in contrast to the extensive membrane disruption that has been seen in cortical cataracts.
