Article Synopsis
- The early development of lens opacities and lens subluxation significantly contribute to vision loss in patients with anterior megalophthalmos (AM), making cataract surgery more complex due to anatomical challenges.
- Postoperative complications commonly include intraocular lens dislocation, and patients with AM are also prone to a specific vitreoretinopathy that increases the risk of retinal detachment.
- The case study discusses a 36-year-old man with bilateral AM, previously misdiagnosed, who experienced vision loss due to lens subluxation and required both lens removal and vitrectomy to prevent retinal detachment, followed by implantation of an iris-claw lens.
