Background And Objective: We describe an in-office lens repositioning technique for anterior crystalline lens dislocation.
Patients And Methods: We present a case series of four patients with spontaneous or traumatic anterior crystalline lens dislocation.
Results: The technique included supine patient positioning, gentle pressure with a cotton swab on the peripheral cornea to guide the lens into the posterior chamber, and the use of a miotic agent afterward to prevent subsequent subluxation.
Background: Injuries, the leading cause of death in children 1-17 years old, are often preventable.
