I Need Histonetters help.
 
We have an eye with a plastic part for the lens, which is a type of
telescope, I've been told.
 
According to the new pathologist, we need to dissolve out this plastic lens,
then he can gross the eye and we can process it into paraffin.
 
We've never had to dissolve plastic before. The eye is in 10% NBF right now.
I'm guess maybe something like chloroform? But what percent? For how long?
Before or after grossing?
 
Has anyone done this before, that can send a procedure to me? Thanks.
