into the anterior chamber without open globe injury is a rare entity. We report a 27-year-old male who presented after blunt trauma from a wooden door with sudden visual loss in the right eye. Best-corrected visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 metre. Slit-lamp examination revealed a clear crystalline lens completely dislocated into the anterior chamber with a clear cornea, well-formed anterior chamber, round pupil and no vitreous prolapse ( Figure 1(A)). B-scan ultrasonography showed no posterior segment abnormalities. The patient underwent lens extraction, pars plana vitrectomy and scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation ( Figure 1(B)). Postoperative course was uneventful and his BCVA improved to 6/12. This case highlights the importance of meticulous anterior segment examination in post-traumatic eyes and timely surgical management to prevent complications and achieve favourable outcome.
