title: Bilateral megalocornea with unilateral lens subluxation.
abstract: Megalocornea refers to an enlarged cornea that measures 13 mm or more in horizontal diameter in the absence of raised intraocular pressure. We describe a five-month-old boy with bilateral megalocornea with unilateral lens subluxation. No other ophthalmological abnormality was present. In all previously reported cases with megalocornea and ectopia lentis, the lens was cataractous and the dislocation was in the inferior and posterior direction. In contrast, our case had a clear lens which was displaced superonasally.
