[A case report of transient myopia following blunt trauma].
We present a case report on a young man complaining of transient myopia following a blunt trauma. Clinical and paraclinical (ultrasound) follow-up allowed us to discuss the different physiopathological mechanisms involved. We observed anterior lens displacement, increased lens thickness probably due to lens edema, choroidal detachment, and ciliary body edema. Progression was positive with full regression of the myopia. Ultrasound analysis also underlined an iridocorneal angle closure that could have led to angle-closure glaucoma (preventive peripheric iridotomy was discussed). The spontaneous progression showed spontaneous angle reopening on the main meridians.
