Abstract

True exfoliation is a rare disorder associated with delamination of the superficial or all layers of the anterior lens capsule, appearing as a transparent membrane in the anterior chamber. Although exposure to excessive heat, ocular trauma, glaucoma and intraocular inflammation are implicated as main causative factors, exact etiopathogenesis is not clear. We report a case of true exfoliation of lens in a patient who presented with progressive painless loss of vision in both eyes for the last 2 years and had history of occupational exposure of intense heat.

Key Words: True exfoliation; lens capsule; cataract surgery.
