Avidin-biotin immunohistochemical staining for fibronectin was used to study 17 aphakic intraocular lens implanted globes and 12 explanted intraocular lenses. Fibronectin was identified as a component of acellular pseudophakic membranes and was also observed within lens epithelial cells and macrophages.
