Posterior Lenticonus

Abstract

A 15-year-old male, reported to us with a history of painless, progressive diminition of vision in his left eye for the past few years. There was no other significant history. His best corrected visual aquity was 6/18 in his left eye and 6/6 in the right eye. Colour vision, intraocular pressure, fundus, B scan and ocular movements were within normal limits. Slit lamp examination revealed a posterior lenticonus(figure 1) in his left eye with early cataractous changes. His systemic workup was normal. He has been planned for cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular implantationts, but the possibility of ambylopia in the left eye was explained to the patient and his parents in detail.
