Subluxation cataract lens

Surgical management of ectopia lentis is one of the major challenges faced by cataract surgeons today. 

Ectopia lentis signifies a displacement or malposition of the crystalline lens, irrespective of cause. 

It may occur congenitally or as part of developmental anomalies, as found in Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hyperlysinemia, sulfite oxidase deficiency, simple primary ectopia lentis, and congenital aniridia syndrome.
