Traumatic phacocele

We report a case of traumatic phacocele, in a 42-year-old patient with a hi story of congenital glaucoma and bilateral goniotomies as an Infant. Her le ft eye had little vision and poorly controlled intraocular pressure but was comfortable until her presentation after blunt trauma. Phacocele or subcon junctival dislocation of the crystalline lens is a rare consequence of blun t trauma, particularly in a patient whose only previous ocular surgery was goniotomy more than 40 years ago.
