Abstract

Traumatic subconjunctival dislocation of the lens (phacocele or lentecele) is of relatively rare occurrence. We report an unusual case of missed subconjunctival dislocation of cataractous lens following blunt ocular trauma by cow horn in an elderly patient without having any previous ocular surgery or trauma. The pathophysiological mechanism, clinical presentation, and management are discussed.
