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.
