Traumatic rupture of the posterior capsule resulting in complete posterior prolapse of the lens with subsequent resolution of high myopia.

Uncomplicated isolated breach of the posterior capsule following a blunt forehead trauma has rarely been reported. We report the first case of a patient with high myopia who, after minor forehead trauma, developed an isolated rupture of the posterior capsule with probable complete prolapse of the crystalline lens into the vitreous cavity, leading to spontaneous correction of the patient's high axial myopia.
