Abstract

Ectopia lentis can occur due to trauma, ocular disease, or systemic disease. Trauma is the most common cause. It may be present at birth or occur at any age. Traumatic ectopia lentis is most often the result of a direct blow to the eye, such as from a baseball or golf ball, but can also occur after blunt trauma to the head or orbit. Though trauma is the most common cause of ectopia lentis, if the trauma is minor, one should consider other underlying diseases that could predispose the patient to lens dislocation.

A -20 year-old woman was referred to our hospital with progressive visual disturbance. Slit lamp examination revealed bilateral superonasal subluxation of the crystalline lens with the lens zonule visible within the pupil . Patient is operated for subluxated cataract by Phacoemulsification with PCIOL implantation with the help of capsular hooks and segment. Her vision improves to 6/9 .
