Bilateral posterior crystalline lens dislocations in an otherwise healthy child.

Ectopia lentis is defined as a crystalline lens displacement, either partially or completely, due to zonular abnormalities. It can be a result of trauma, hereditary ocular disease, or part of systemic diseases, like Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria. We report a case of a medically free 16-year-old girl, who was referred to our hospital complaining of poor vision and a squint in both eyes since childhood. Her history included a traffic accident when she was one-year-old. She was previously diagnosed with alternating esotropia, which was treated with glasses, alternating patching, and bilateral Botox injections. On examination, she had a visual acuity of 6/7.5 with correction in the right eye and 6/6 with correction in the left eye. She had an esotropia of 60 prism diopters, which was partially corrected to 40 prism diopters for near and distance vision. Fundus examination showed myopic changes in each eye and dislocated lenses in the posterior pole at 6 o'clock. Our case was stable, so we used conservative management with contact lenses. Bilateral posterior lens dislocation is very rare. A proper examination is important and early diagnosis can prevent serious complications, such as retinal detachment or pupillary block glaucoma.
