Abstract
Background:
The presence of a prominent, retrolental line is shown biomicroscopically.
Methods:
A 25-year-old patient with a prominent circular retrolental line is reported. Slit-lamp stereophotographs of the lens were obtained.
Results:
A prominent, circular, retrolental line was observed in a female patient - who showed no evidence of ocular disease other than myopia of -5.0 D - and was photographically documented.
Conclusion:
The prominent retrolental line observed in the patient could correspond to the inner border of the hyalo-capsular ligament of Wieger.
