Fig. 64. Extensive fibrous reaction in the cornea has produced a hypertrophic scar that diffusely thickens the cornea. The posterior border of the cornea is lined by iris (posterior synechiae). A nuclear sclerotic cataract (N) is present. Most of the lens cortex in this hypermature cataract has escaped through an intact lens capsule. The only remaining cortical material is in the region of the lens equator.
