Case Report

We present a case study of a 41-year-old patient who was admitted to the ophthalmological emergency department complaining of ocular pain and redness following trauma of the right eye. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye revealed visual acuity limited to "counting fingers", diffuse conjunctival hyperemia, anterior dislocation of a clear crystalline lens in the anterior chamber with endothelial contact (Figure 1) , and ocular hypertonia measured at 35 mm Hg. Medical treatment was swiftly initiated, incorporating both local and systemic hypotensive agents. After the eye pressure has been normalized, the patient underwent phacoemulsification lens extraction with anterior vitrectomy. Postoperative outcome was marked by normalization of intraocular pressure and by the absence of optic nerve and corneal endothelial cell damage.
