Abstract: Anterior and posterior lens luxation were found in Sprague-Dawley rats. When the lens was luxated forward, the lens traversed the anterior chamber and reached a point of the corneal endothelium. The anterior pole was adhered with the corneal endothelium resulting in focal subcapsular cataract and regional corneal thickening. When the lens was luxated backward, it was completely embedded within the vitreous. This was associated with mature cataract and liquefaction. The iris became flattened as a result of the lack of posterior support from the lens.
