Bilateral lens subluxation in a case of lipoid proteinosis.

We report a patient who presented with pain, redness, and diminution of vision in the right eye and low vision in the left eye. Ophthalmologic examination showed characteristic eyelid lesions, anterior dislocation of the crystalline lens in the right eye, and nasal subluxation in the left eye. The patient's voice was hoarse, and he had skin lesions. After histopathologic examination of the skin biopsy, lipoid proteinosis (LP) was diagnosed. Bilateral pars plana lensectomy was performed. The ophthalmic manifestations of LP are discussed.
