A posterior displacement is usually well tolerated for years provided

the lens capsule is not permeable or rupture, allowing lens protein

to escape. If this occurs, a phacolytic uvetis with or without a
secondary glaucoma might result, requiring a lens extraction.
Glaucoma may result from outflow obstruction due to chronic
inflammatory cells from lens induced uveitis, macrophages from a
phacolytic glaucoma etc. It may also occur from pupillary block as
described in Weill Marchsani syndrome, or by displacement of the
lens into the anterior chamber2. Iridectomy is often the treatment of
choice; it can prevent or cure the puplillary block glaucoma and
simultaneously provide a clear optical area.
