Computed tomography is also an alternative method for lens subluxation which again can show deviation of the lens (Figs. Radiographics. Anterior dislocation of the lens is serious as it may lead to angle-closure glaucoma [3,4]. Lens subluxation can be diagnosed by ultrasound which shows deviation of the lens (Fig. J Emerg Med.
