Abstract
We report the first case of toric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL)
implantation in both the eyes of a young patient of Alport
syndrome with anterior and posterior lenticonus with a
successful outcome. An 18‑year‑old female patient presented
with progressively blurred vision in both eyes since 4–5 years
not improving with glasses. Refraction showed high myopia with
astigmatism; however, the vision did not improve beyond 6/60
with glasses correction. Clinical examination on slit lamp showed
anterior and posterior lenticonus bilaterally with a classical
oil droplet appearance. We performed clear lens extraction by
phacoemulsification with toric multifocal IOL implantation in
both eyes. Postoperatively, the patient achieved an excellent
refractive outcome with the unaided vision of 6/9, N6 in both
eyes.
