A case of spontaneous dislocated lenses

Abstract

There are a great number of causes of dislocated lenses. One such cause is the spontaneous dislocation of a mature or hypermature cataractous lens. The case of an 80-year-old black female with spontaneously dislocated lenses is reported. Because the woman was not aphakic from surgery, but rather from spontaneous dislocation of her lenses, she was not eligible for eyeglasses from Medicare.
