Lens Luxation with Acute Pupillary Block Glaucoma

Lens Luxation with Acute Pupillary Block Glaucoma
Trauma to the eye resulted in forward luxation of the cataractous lens into the anterior chamber. This resulted in an acute glaucoma since the vitreous came also forward and caused a pupillary block. Note the heavily injected eye.
