Abstract
Lens luxation is a common and potentially blinding disease of dogs. If left untreated, degenerative changes in the pathways for aqueous humor result in glaucoma; however, if the lens is removed by ICLE before significant secondary changes occur, vision can be preserved. In addition, it is now possible to restore excellent vision by replacing the luxated lens with a synthetic IOL.Entities:
