Lens dislocation

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

Dislocations of the lens commonly result from trauma to the eye. Partial dislocations may not be noticed by the patient. A full dislocation in which the lens floats in the vitreous may cause visual distortion and a red eye. Iridodensis - quivering of the iris when the patient moves the eye - may be observed. It indicates lack of lens support and is particularly marked when the dislocation is complete.
