Subretinal crystalline lens – an unusual complication of blunt trauma
Keywords:
Blunt trauma, subretinal crystalline lens
Abstract
We describe the case of a 65-year-old Indian male with a subretinal crystalline lens; an unusual complication of blunt trauma. The patient underwent a three port pars plana vitrectomy during which the subretinal location of the crystalline lens under the inferior giant retinal tear was confirmed. The lens was maneuvered into the vitreous cavity and appropriately managed.
