Abstract
Some of the changes that precede the initiation of cell division in the injured and cultured lens have been reported. Studies from other laboratories indicate that acid phosphatase may play a key role in tissue repair. The ocular lens provides a unique system to study this phenomenon in an avascular tissue. Histochemical studies at the level of the light microscope indicate the presence of acid phosphatase which is primarily confined to the peripheral region of the rabbit lens epithelium. However, no information regarding the localization of acid phosphatase in mechanically injured rabbit lenses is available. This investigation was undertaken to ascertain the presence and localization of acid phosphatase following mechanical injury to the central anterior region of the lens.
