Abstract:
Posterior lenticonus is a circumscribed round or oval bulge of posterior lens capsule and cortex. About 100 cases have been reported since the first clinical description given in 1888 by Meyer. Most cases in the literature were unilateral and were not usually associated with other congenital anomaly. The authors have recently experienced a case of bilateral posterior lenticonus with left keratoconus in a 21 year-old male patient and two cases of characteristic posterior lenticonus not associated with other ocular anomalies in 22 year-old male patients.
