Abstract

We report a case of traumatic phacocele in a 42-year-old patient with a history of congenital glaucoma and bilateral goniotomies as an infant. Her left eye had little vision and poorly controlled intraocular pressure but was comfortable until her presentation after blunt trauma. Phacocele or subconjunctival dislocation of the crystalline lens is a rare consequence of blunt trauma, particularly in a patient whose only previous ocular surgery was goniotomy more than 40 years ago.
