Abstract
- Spherophakia, also known as microphakia, is a bilateral condition wherein the lens is small and at the same time spherical in shape. As a simple anomaly it is very rare. Here we wish to report a case of spherophakia which is presented as an isolated anomaly along with the lens dislocation bilaterally. The authors successfully performmed bilateral intracapsular lens extraction under the general anesthesia. And the post-operative result was good.
