Background: Lens-related emergencies need immediate medical intervention to reduce complications, minimize pain, and improve the chances of retaining vision. The present study aimed to demonstrate the common lens-related ocular emergencies in dogs and evaluate the short-term outcomes after the...

Lens luxation is caused by weakening of lens zonules, which leads to the displacement of the lens. Primary lens luxation (PLL), in which lens zonules are weakened with no antecedent ocular disease is a hereditary disease and the most common cause of lens luxation. Lens luxation can also be...

This retrospective study evaluated cases of lens luxation in dogs that were documented at the University of Zurich Veterinary Teaching Hospital between 2000 and 2011. A total 134 dogs were included in the study. This population of dogs with lens luxation represents 0.41% of all dogs presented to...

This article aims at the presentation of genetic background of an important ocular disorder in dogs. Primary lens luxation (PLL) is an inherited and painful eye disease in dogs. In most cases, it is diagnosed only at the period of visible symptoms - the shift of the lens, which usually occurs in...

Objectives: To report the outcomes following the insertion of a rhexis-fixated prosthetic intraocular lens (IOL) in dogs undergoing lens removal. Materials and Methods: The results are from 30 eyes of 28 dogs, undergoing lendectomy, in which the lens capsule could not accommodate a conventional...

Objective: To compare intraocular pressures (IOPs) estimated by rebound and applanation tonometry for dogs with lens instability. Animals: 66 dogs. Procedures: Medical records of dogs examined between September 2012 and July 2018 were reviewed for diagnoses of anterior (ALL) or posterior (PLL) lens ...

This article aims at the presentation of ocular emergency in small animal veterinary surgery. Lens luxation is the displacement of the lens from its normal position in the eye, which caused by breaking its contact with the zonular fibres equatorially. Etiology is diverse. The most common are two...

Objective: To evaluate the success rate and outcome of trans-corneal reduction of anterior lens luxation (TR-ALL) in dogs with lens instability. Animals Studied: Nineteen dogs with anterior lens luxation. Procedures: Medical records of dogs with anterior lens luxation (ALL) were reviewed: dogs were ...

Objective: To identify the frequency of vitreous degeneration and its association with ocular comorbidities including cataracts, lens luxation, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 4217 dogs from the Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) that underwent breed...

Objective: To establish the allele frequency of the PLL-causing G>A intron 10 ADAMTS17 mutation in the Portuguese Podengo population in the UK and investigate a possible correlation between the mutation and short stature. Methods: Two groups of dogs (Group 1 and Group 2) were recruited for the...
