ABSTRACT
A 29-year-old man presented with longstanding, stable, unilateral vision loss in the setting of a remote paintball injury. His examination was notable for a sensory exotropia as well as multiple foci of posterior synechiae, segments of white lenticular material and islands of lenticular cells within a grossly intact capsule, and severe zonular compromise in the affected eye. The majority of the nuclear lens material was absent. The patient was diagnosed with post-traumatic lens absorption and underwent synechialysis, capsulotomy, excision of remnant lenticular material, and placement of a sulcus lens, with significant improvement in visual acuity and ocular alignment following surgery. Our report uniquely highlights identification of a Soemmering's ring in an absorbed lens in the presence of an intact anterior and posterior capsule as well as successful refractive and sensorimotor outcomes following surgical repair despite delay in treatment of many years.
