20 y/o male Referred for refractive surgery due to high myopia VA OD: CF 4/10 OS: CF 5/10 Refraction OD: -19.5- 0.5 x 180 OS: -20.0-1.00 x 180 IOP OD: 39 mm Hg OS: 39 mm Hg

Slide 4

Displacement of the crystalline lens from its original position Subluxation: when displacement is partial with part of the lens still in normal position Luxation or dislocation: when lens is completely displaced, in AC or Vitreous

Slide 5

Traumatic (most common cause) Hereditary ectopia lentis without systemic manifestations Single (isolated) ectopia lentis Ectopia lentis et pupillae

Slide 6

Marfan syndrome Autosomal dominant Tall stature Arachnodactyly, joint laxity, mitral valve prolapse, aortic dilatation Axial myopia, and increased incidence of retinal detachment Lens dislocation (about 75% of patients ), usually bilateral, symmetrical, and supartemporal

Slide 7

Homocystinuria Absence of cystathionine b-synthetase (the enzyme that converts homocysteine to cystathionine). Fair skin with coarse hair, osteoporosis, mental retardation, seizure disorder, marfanoid habitus, and poor circulation Thromboembolic events constitute the major threat to survival, especially following general anesthesia. Lens luxation usually is bilateral, symmetrical, and inferonasal, and presents in nearly 90% of patients

Slide 8

Weil-Marchesani Short stature, brachydactyly, limited joint mobility Microspherophakia, ectopia lentis, lenticular myopia Pupillary block glaucoma Sulfite oxidase deficiency Defect in sulfur metabolism Progressive CNS abnormalities Ectopia lentis Hyperlysinemia Enzymatic defect of amino acid metabolism Mental retardation and lens dislocation. Increased plasma levels of lysine

Slide 9

Congenital glaucoma/buphthalmos Pseudoexfoliation syndrome Syphilis/chronic uveitis Retinitis pigmentosa Megalocornea Aniridia Hypermature cataract Intraocular tumor High myopia

Slide 10

Impaired vision due to cataract or refractive error not improved by other corrective methods Induced or thread for glaucoma

Slide 11

Refraction and vision Systemic evaluation Homocystinuria. Marfan. Glaucoma, angle Retinal detachment Corneal endothelium

Slide 12

Diagnosing the condition is important Preventive measures Pupil dilation Capsular staining, large rhexis Suporting the capsule with iris retractors Smooth phaco parameters Supracapsular technique CTR without or with fixation if necessary

Slide 13

Standard Cioni Capsular tension segments (CTS) Inserted before or after phacoemulsification The Cionni-modified CTR can be sutured to the sclera. The CTS, with its 90 arc, can be inserted at a specific site of zonular weakness
