  • Title: Lens-Related Emergencies: Not Always So Clear.
    Author: Colitz CM, O'Connell K.
    Journal: Top Companion Anim Med; 2015 Sep; 30(3):81-5. PubMed ID: 26494499.
    Abstract:
    Emergencies involving the crystalline lens are not common; however, their clinical signs must be recognized quickly to begin treatment or referred immediately to improve the chances of retaining sight. The lens is a unique structure because of its immunologically privileged status and its imperative clarity for vision. Any insult to the lens capsule's integrity, its position within the globe, or to its clarity may result in undesirable sequelae.
