46 Feline glaucoma
CLINICAL EXAMINATION
The lens can be cataractous and is sometimes luxated into the anterior chamber. Another dissimilarity with dogs is that the luxated lens does not tend to further exacerbate the glaucoma and develops as a result of the uveitis damaging the lens zonules, not due to primary lens instability. Lens luxation in cats is less painful than in dogs since the anterior chamber can accommodate the dislocated lens without further exacerbating the glaucoma.
