Ectopia lentis
Displacement of the lens
from its normal position
It is either completely displaced [dislocated ] or
partially displaced [ subluxated]
May be inherited or acquired
Subluxation of lens
Definition : Partial displacement of the lens
: Occurs when the zonules are torn in
one segment
: It still remains in the pupillary area
: Displaced opposite.
Causes
Inherited
Acquired
Subluxation of lens
Inherited
Causes
Marfan’s syndrome
Weil Marchesani syndrome
Homocystinuria
Aniridia
Hyperlysinemia
Familial ectopia lentis
Subluxation of lens
Acquired
Causes
Trauma
Large eye [myopia,buphthalmos]
Hypermature cataract
Subluxation of lens
Symptoms : depends whether it’s anterior or posterior
diplopia
pain
redness
blurring of vision
Indications for surgery : Diplopia
: Lens induced uveitis
: Secondary glaucoma
Management : Leave alone if the patient is asymtomatic.
: Removal of the lens with a vectis or ICCE
Dislocation of lens
Definition : complete displacement of the lens from
the pupillary area.
Types : anterior or posterior
Symptoms: pain, redness,
blurring of vision
Signs: Depends on the type of dislocation
Dislocation of lens
Complications :
Corneal endothelium touch
Secondary glaucoma
Vitreous haemorrhage
Retinal tear
Retinal detachment
Chronic uveitis .
Dislocation of lens
Management
In anterior dislocation – remove with a vectis
using viscoelastics
In posterior disclocation- Total vitrectomy and
floating the lens using heavy liquids or using a
fragmentome to break the nucleus and removing the
pieces.
Or leave alone if there are no complications.
Spectacle correction [aphakic ]
Removal of the lens with a
cryoprobe
Complicated cataract
Secondary to primary ocular disease
[Secondary to inflammatory or degenerative diseases]
Anterior or posterior uveitis : A + PSC
Acute congestive glaucoma : Glaucomflecken
High myopia : Post lens opacities and PSC
Hereditary retinal + vitreoretinal disorders: PSC
Complicated cataract
Secondary to primary ocular disease
Secondary to inflammatory or degenerative diseases
Anterior or posterior uveitis : A + PSC
Acute congestive glaucoma : Glaucomflecken
Questions
Defination of subluxation and dislocation
Causes for subluxation and dislocation
Signs/symptoms of subluxation and
dislocation
Management of subluxation and dislocation
Signs and management of complicated
cataract
Ruebella
Cataract
Foetal infection from
maternal viremia
Within 6/52 the virus
can penetrate the lens
capsule
Nuclear cataract
Virus can persist in the
lens for 3 years
postnatally
Microphthalmos
Retinopathy [ salt and
pepper appearance]
Glaucoma
Abnormalities of lens shape
Coloboma [ involves the iris and choroid]
Anterior lenticonus
Posterior lenticonus
Lentiglobus
Microphakia
[ Diameter is smaller than normal eg. in Lowe’s syndrome ]
Microspherophakia [ + disc like in eg. Marfans syndrome ]
