The lens capsules from five cataractous lenses removed from eyes with glaucoma simplex have been compared with capsules from five cataractous lenses removed from eyes without glaucoma. Glaucoma simplex, cataracta senilis or the treatment of the glaucoma by drug therapy or surgical intervention do not seem to influence the ultrastructure of the lens capsule. The findings are identical with those observed in the normal aging human lens.
