Figure 2. Lens morphology in wild type (WT), OVE442, and LR22 transgenic mice

Lenses were isolated from newborn (P0) mice for examination and photography. Some ciliary body tissues (arrows) were left on the lens to avoid damage or distortion to the lens during dissection. The WT lenses are transparent and spherical in shape. The transgenic lenses are cloudy and show a distorted shape. Additionally, there is an excess growth of the blood vessels at the posterior pole of the transgenic lenses (arrowheads).
