    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Eye injuries can lead to rare complications.
    • Subconjunctival lens dislocation is an uncommon sequela of ocular trauma.

    Observation:

    • A case of traumatic phacocele is presented.
    • The patient had a history of prior ocular injury.

    Findings:

    • The phacocele resulted in a large conjunctival mass.
    • Subconjunctival dislocation of the lens was confirmed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering lens dislocation in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival masses.
    • Prompt recognition is crucial for appropriate management of traumatic ocular injuries.
