Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report an interesting case of Weill-Marchesani syndrome presenting as unilateral acute pupillary block glaucoma after dislocation of crystalline lens into anterior chamber in a middleaged woman. Scheimpflug imaging demonstrated accurately the dimensions of spherophakic crystalline lens and its corneal lenticular touch. Glaucoma resolved completely after lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy and she achieved best corrected visual acuity of 20/30.
