The term phacocele is derived from a Greek word, where ‘phaco’ denotes lens and ‘kele’ meaning herniation. It is an unusual and very rare clinical condition.[1]A blunt trauma can result in a scleral rupture with subsequent dislocation of the crystalline lens through the ruptured sclera into the subconjunctival or Tenon’s space termed as phacocele. Most of the cases of phacocele are due to high impact blunt trauma. The eyeball behaves like a fluid filled incompressible structure and whenever a blunt force sufficient enough in magnitude hits the eyeball, it can either cause a scleral rupture at the site of impact (direct injury) or somewhere else (indirect injury) associated rarely with dislocation of lens into the subconjunctival or Tenon’s space. Here, we report a case of Left traumatic phacocele due to trauma by bull’s horn with no history of previous trauma,ocular surgery or Myopia.Abstract
