Do not try this at home: trash can intracapsular cataract extraction.
The authors present a 39-year-old woman who sustained blunt trauma from a metal garbage can to her left eye and presented with her intact crystalline lens luxated subconjunctivally after expulsion through a scleral wound. External photographs show the lens found under intact conjunctiva and a computed tomography scan demonstrates the extrascleral lens. The patient had a ruptured globe repair and intraoperative photographs showed removal of the lens.
