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...

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 determine the prevalence of secondary glaucomas in dogs associated with cataract formation, lens luxation or displacement, cataract surgery, uveitis, hyphema and intraocular neoplasia. Methods: Information was obtained from the Veterinary Medical Data Base (VMDB) from all veterinary...

We applied a green laser transcorneally via the anterior chamber to the ciliary body for treatment of complicated glaucoma with lens luxation in a dog. The ciliary body was able to be observed through the interspace between the iris and the dislocated lens. Intraocular pressure (IOP) stayed around...

Objective: To describe clinical and histopathologic pre-operative diagnoses as well as associated post-operative complications following orbital silicone implantation in dogs undergoing enucleation and evaluate owner satisfaction. Animals studied: One hundred and eighty-six dogs who underwent...

The material of the present study was composed of 30 eyes with luxatio lentis occurring in 20 dogs. Unilateral lens luxation was determined in a half of the animals while bilateral luxation was determined in the other half. Lenses in 19 of the 30 eyes were luxated in the anterior direction (63.3%), ...

Objective: To determine the epidemiology and the clinical presentation of cataracts in a population of dogs in France. Procedures: Records of dogs affected by a cataract presented at the Ophthalmology Unit of Alfort Veterinary School during 2009-2012 were reviewed. The etiology was determined for...

The uveal tract is represented by the iris, ciliary body and choroid. Uveitis is a syndrome common in dogs, affecting the uveal tract. The possible consequences of uveitis include cataracts, synechiae formation, corneal vascularization, panoftalmitis, iris atrophy, lens luxation, phthisis bulbi,...

Objective: To investigate the epidemiology of canine secondary glaucomas in the cases presented to the University of Zurich, Vetsuisse Faculty (UZH) from 1995 to 2009 focusing on possible risk factors for developing secondary glaucoma in this population of dogs. Methods: Information was obtained...

The emergencies of the lens mainly include abnormalities of position and, to a lesser extent, injuries that could put at risk its integrity. Dislocations, in particular the anterior ones, can be the origin of intraocular hypertension, which complicates the visual prognosis and causes pain. A prompt ...
