What is Primary Lens Luxation?
Primary Lens Luxation (PLL) is a genetic condition where the lens of the eye dislocates from its normal position. It can cause pain, inflammation, and blindness if untreated.
How is PLL Diagnosed?
Early signs include redness, squinting, and a change in eye appearance. A veterinary ophthalmologist diagnoses PLL through an eye exam and gonioscopy to assess eye structure.
Treatment Options for PLL
Treatment includes medication to manage pain and inflammation. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the dislocated lens and prevent further damage.
