case_images: Slit lamp photograph (a). Diffuse illumination showing traumatic mydriasis, a posterior synechiae at 12 "o" clock position, and a demarcated posterior subcapsular cataract (b). Focal slit illumination showing backward deviation of slit beam at the level of posterior capsule in the area of cataract (white arrows), increased opacification of posterior capsule at the margins of cataract, and wrinkling of posterior capsule at the superior margin (black arrows). (c) Diffuse illumination showing total cataract and visible lens edge in the inferior 2 o'clock hours

case_images: A diffuse slit lamp illumination showed a demarcated semicircular cataract in the inferior part of the lens [Fig. 1a] with a broad slit showing backward deviation of the beam at the level of posterior capsule (PC) [Fig. 1b]. After 2 weeks on antiglaucoma agents, the patient presented with total cataract [Fig. 1c] when phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in bag was carried out.

case_images: Further evaluation with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) showed an ectatic PC in the area of demarcated cataract [Fig. 2] and a provisional diagnosis of posterior lenticonus was thus made.
