Abstract

Hemorrhage into the crystalline lens is exceedingly rare but has been described following ocular trauma [1, 2], glaucoma surgery [3-5], laser iridotomy [6], pediatric cataract surgery [7], and also in the absence of an obvious pathology [8]. We describe a case of intra- and retro-lenticular organised bleed which presented 9 years following repair of open globe injury and which was treated using fugo blade-assisted lens aspiration. The fugo blade provided adequate endocoagulation of retrolenticular blood during posterior capsulotomy and prevented undue anterior segment hemorrhage.
