Microspherophakia refers to a spherophakic lens with a decreased equatorial diameter. Microspherophakia can be found in systemic or ocular conditions, such as Marfan's syndrome, Weill-Marchesani syndrome, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, and Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome. A 3-year-old girl was brought with complaints of eyes appearing larger, watering and inability to see bright light for 1 year. On examination, she had megalocornea; the cornea was clear with a shallow anterior chamber, and microspherophakic lens. Her intraocular pressure (IOP) was recorded as 43 and 32 mmHg in the right and left eyes, respectively. This article guides in classifying, categorizing, and managing a case with microspherophakia.
Keywords: Glaucoma; megalocornea; microspherophakia.
