[Lens-induced uveitis in a rabbit]

The lens-induced uveitis is a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic challenge for the veterinarian. In most cases the ocular structures have already been irreversibly damaged, so that the therapy can only bring relief, but does not lead to full recovery. This is a review of the pathophysiology and the resulting diagnostic consequences of the lens-induced uveitis. One case is discussed and recommendation for medical treatment is given.
