Glaucoma due to lens dislocation

Lens position change refers to the lens that is located in the posterior chamber under physiological conditions, deviates from the central position, and clinically manifests as lens subluxation or total dislocation, collectively referred to as lens dislocation. Glaucoma caused by increased intraocular pressure caused by lens dislocation is called glaucoma associated with lens dislocation. The subluxation of the lens is caused by the relaxation or rupture of part of the suspensory ligament, which makes the lens deviate from the normal center of the visual axis, but the lens is still located in the pupil area or part of the pupil area. The total dislocation of the lens is due to the rupture of all the ligaments and does not attach to the ciliary process. The lens can be located in the posterior chamber, the pupil area, or into the anterior chamber or the vitreous, and even into the subconjunctiva or outside the eyelid.
