title: Trauma-Induced Bilateral Ectopia Lentis Diagnosed with Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ocular trauma and acute loss of vision are high-yield patient presentations that may benefit from the use of bedside ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis of a variety of vision-threatening problems.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of bilateral lens dislocation in which the diagnosis of lens dislocation was missed on initial computed tomography of the orbits but detected on bedside ultrasound. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Point-of-care ultrasound can rapidly identify ocular pathology and expedite specialist consultation, and if necessary, transfer to a specialty center for further management.
