Abstract: | Dislocation of crystalline lens into the anterior subconjunctival or subtenon''s space is a rare but known complication of blunt trauma. Dislocation into the posterior subtenon''s space is even rarer and can be associated with a complication such as occult scleral tear and retinal detachment. We report a case of traumatic posterior subtenon''s dislocation of crystalline lens after blunt trauma and its successful surgical management. |
