Unusual traumatic deformity of the lens.

THE most bizarre pattern of lesions may accompany ocular injury. When the violence is severe, damage may amount to complete disruption of the globe. When the violence is moderate, the integrity of the globe may be preserved though the structures within it may be irreparably damaged. Severe intra-ocular haemorrhage or a total lental opacity may cloud the clinical picture. In the latter case a deformity of the lens is of little moment as in any event the opaque lens has to be removed to restore sight. A fairly transparent lens with a deformity, while permitting some kind of visual function, is a clinico-optical problem. The following case is of interest as a curious lental deformity presenting unique clinical features.
