Abstract

Microspherophakia is an uncommon bilateral eye condition in which there is abnormal laxity of the lens zonules, leading to development of a spherical lens. Microspherophakia without systemic features is a rare presentation. The management of such a case is quite challenging. We report a case of isolated microspherephakia which was managed successfully with clear lens extraction with implantation of a foldable intraocular lens.
