Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Science And Clinical Research Studies - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This article aims to comprehensively describe a particular case of bilateral intraocular subluxated lens with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in a Moroccan woman with homocystinuria. We report a case of a 56-year-old patient who has a cataractous subluxated lens along with whitish deposits. The association of PEX syndrome with hyperhomocysteinemia has rarely been found. It worsens the lenses' zonular stability and causes multiple complications
