Abstract
Injection-molded intraocular lenses may undergo structural changes whe n exposed to solvents and fixatives during post-mortem examination. We report a case in which this phenomenon was seen in an injection-molde d lens. We were able to duplicate these changes by immersing injection -molded lenses in 60% alcohol for 48 hours.
