(A) Scanning electron microscopy of the anterior surface of the lens reveals a pattern of lumps composed of subsurface calcified deposits as well as surface deposits. The arrow line shows line scan analysis. (B) Energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis, exhibiting peaks corresponding to calcium and phosphorus corresponding to the surface calcium phosphate deposits. In the bottom restricted view of the line scan microanalysis. (C) Energy-dispersive x-ray analysis of limited deposits of discrete calcium phosphate crystallites on the posterior surface of the IOL. The arrow line shows the line scan area. (D) EDX microanalysis spectrum runs across surface deposits as shown in the bottom
