Anterior dislocation of an empty capsular bag in a pseudophakic eye: A rare case report

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2015 Mar;63(3):280-2. doi: 10.4103/0301-4738.156939.

Abstract

Spontaneous intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation is uncommon in the absence of any ocular areas with zonular weakness or trauma. There have been no reports of spontaneous capsular bag dislocation into the anterior chamber without an IOL. We report a rare, interesting case of spontaneous capsular bag anterior dislocation, without an IOL, into the anterior chamber with no history of genetic disease, ocular trauma, or pseudoexfoliation that might predispose to a zonular abnormality.
