A patient had both cataracts removed and a Copeland pseudophakos was implanted in one eye. Both globes were retained at autopsy for histopathologic study. The globe containing the implant did not show evidence of acute or chronic inflammation of the anterior segment, nor did it display signs suggesting secondary glaucoma. Some erosion of the iris pigment epithelium was present. In general, the globe appeared to tolerate the implant.
