title: Visualization of the hyalo-capsular ligament in the living eye.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The presence of a prominent, retrolental line is shown biomicroscopically.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 25-year-old patient with a prominent circular retrolental line is reported. Slit-lamp stereophotographs of the lens were obtained.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A prominent, circular, retrolental line was observed in a female patient - who showed no evidence of ocular disease other than myopia of -5.0 D - and was photographically documented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prominent retrolental line observed in the patient could correspond to the inner border of the hyalo-capsular ligament of Wieger.
