This video presents a case of traumatic suprachoroidal dislocation of the crystalline lens. A 22-year-old man presented for vision loss after blunt trauma. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) showed aphakia; an iris defect; a round, convex, smooth elevation at the superior retina; and no retinal breaks. Oil tamponade was used. Eight weeks later, the convex elevation was unchanged and suspected to be a subretinal dislocated lens. Raised intraocular pressure, oil-fill in a young eye, and uncertain visual prognosis prompted a second PPV; an intraocular approach was chosen given the suspected lens location. A circumferential superior retinal incision of 2 clock hours was performed. The lens was in the suprachoroidal space, visible through a small, preexisting choroidal defect, which was enlarged with vitreoretinal scissors. The lens was explanted with a bimanual approach and removed with the cutter, and retinopexy and oil tamponade were performed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining confirmed the diagnosis. Traumatic suprachoroidal lens dislocation has been reported once without histologic confirmation. The presenters believe the lens reached the suprachoroidal space through the large iris defect.
