Abstract:
Morphological changes in case of failure of the lenticular ligamentous-capsular system are described. Histological changes in this complex led the authors to the conclusion that morphological substrata of the "traumatic" and "surgical" lenticular subluxation are similar and are characterized by coarse mechanical changes in the lens capsule, with the relatively intact structure of the ligamentous system at a considerable length. Subluxation of the lens resultant from oral drug therapy is characterized by pronounced changes in the lens capsule and in the short cinnous ligament fibers. Age-associated or involution subluxation is caused primarily by pathological changes in the lens capsule, which seems to experience high strain from the remaining zonular fibers.
