With a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser set at various energy levels, anterior and posterior capsular and cortical lesions were produced in the lens of rabbits. Biomicroscopic and Scheimpflug examinations showed the anterior lesion to be healing in a whitish scar that was restricted to the area of the original lesion. Histology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated the proliferation of epithelial cells that produced a new, continuous, basement membrane-like capsule. In the area of the lesion collagenous material, myofibroblast-like cells and macrophages were found. Laser-induced lesions in the posterior lens capsule and lens protein resulted in damage to the capsule and grey opacity of the lenticular proteins, which remained unchanged for 6 weeks. Neither inflammatory nor epithelial cells appeared within the locally damaged lens. Macrophages migrated from the vitreous into the lesion; they were observed either in intercellular clefts or within a lens fibre, almost completely taking up their cross section.
