title: Traumatic lens dislocation.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Point-of-care ultrasound has been widely used by clinicians, particularly those in emergency care settings.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 44-year-old male who sustained a blunt ocular trauma resulting in acute vision loss due to posterior dislocation of the crystalline lens identified by point-of-care ultrasound is described in the study. Point-of-care ultrasound with a high linear-array transducer was used to gain the sagittal view of the eye globe.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Point-of-care ultrasound can be a useful tool to make a rapid diagnosis of ocular emergency including lens abnormality.
