Trauma-induced subluxation of the lens is usually not self-healing, and patients need to undergo surgical treatment to relieve eye discomfort.
Trauma-induced subluxation of the lens is usually caused by a large external force that damages the suspensory ligament that holds the lens in place, causing the lens to move and deviate from its original normal position, and is generally not self-healing, with patients experiencing symptoms such as double vision and increased intraocular pressure.
If the lens is still transparent and the lens subluxation does not cause serious complications, it can be left untreated for the time being, but close follow-up is required. If a patient with subluxation of the lens develops high astigmatism or elevated intraocular pressure, the patient will need surgery to remove the deviated lens and relieve the discomfort of the eye.
It is recommended that patients with subluxation of the lens be seen promptly for evaluation of their condition and treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
