Abstract
Purpose: To report an unusual case of a spontaneously dislocated crystalline lens into the anterior chamber associated with Homocystinuria. Methods: A 44-year-old woman with no occular trauma history presented with a spontaneously dislocated crystalline lens into the anterior chamber accompanied by corneal touch and increased intraocular pressure. The crystalline lens was extracted by phakoemulsification followed by a retro-pupillary iris claw. Results: Surgery was successful with improved visual acuity stabilized eye pressure and clarification of the cornea. Conclusion: Homocystinuria is a rare etiology of spontaneous anterior dislocation of the lens that requires multidisciplinary management.
