The displacement of the lens can result in significant visual distortion or the perception of double vision. Should the lens shift forward, it has the potential to induce a type of glaucoma characterized by heightened pressure within the eyeball, particularly if the outflow of fluid from the front of the eye is impeded. In cases where glaucoma becomes severe, the option of lens removal might be considered.<\/p>\n
