Primær linseluksation
Also known as: PLL
Hereditary
En arvelig svækkelse af de zonulære fibre, der ophænger linsen, hvilket gør det muligt for linsen at forskyde sig i øjet, hyppig hos terrierracer. Den skyldes en mutation i ADAMTS17-genet og fører ofte til smertefuld sekundær grøn stær og synstab. Debut sker typisk i middelalderen.
