Abstract: Mature cataract had caused change in appearance
of the eye and complete blindness in an aged African lion.
Early surgical removal of the lens is the only effective
treatment for mature cataract, and if surgery is not
performed soon after maturation of the cataract, total
blindness may remain after surgery. The present report
describes a mature cataract of unknown cause with anterior
lens luxation in a 20-year-old African lion treated by
intracapsular extraction of the lens. On clinical examina-
tion, immature cataract of the right eye and mature cataract
with anterior lens luxation of left eye were diagnosed. The
entire lens, including anterior and posterior capsules, was
removed by routine surgical techniques described for such a
procedure. The lion suffered self-trauma of the eye 48 h
after surgery, and three sutures were disrupted. Antibiotic
drops and Cefazolin were administrated with extreme
difficulty for 1 week. The lion was saved, but keratitis
developed in the left eye.
