Abstract

Abstarct: Spontaneous lens dislocation without genetic factors is rare. In this case, spontaneous lens dislocation occurred without an apparent trigger and resulted in secondary angle‐closure glaucoma. A head computed tomography (CT) scan showed lens dislocation. It is critical to assess for lens dislocation during head CT scan for a sudden headache. Abstract : In this case, spontaneous lens dislocation occurred without an apparent trigger. A CT scan of the head showed that the left intraocular lens had deviated posteriorly.
