Case report examines spontaneous lens absorption and capsular bag dislocation in a 60-year-old female, highlighting complications.
Spontaneous absorption of the crystalline lens with anterior dislocation of the capsular bag is an exceedingly rare condition, often presenting with severe ocular complications such as corneal edema, secondary glaucoma, or intraocular inflammation. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and management of a 60-year-old female with spontaneous lens absorption and a dislocated capsular bag in the anterior chamber, leading to corneal edema and compromised vision. The report underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in preventing avoidable vision loss, especially in developing countries, where neglect of eye health and delayed access to care remain significant challenges.
