Abstract
Lens injury is much more common than one would presume from literature reports (Table 2.7.1). While the prognosis of the lens pathology itself is excellent, the outcome is generally much poorer because of the associated injuries (Table 2.7.2). Furthermore, several issues related to the management of eyes with lens injury remain controversial. Fig. 2.7.1 provides an overview of the trauma-related lens conditions. If the eye was pseudophakic at the time of injury, additional pathologies, such as IOL dislocation or haptic breakage, can occur.
