Clear lens extraction in Alport syndrome with combined anterior and posterior lenticonus or ruptured anterior lens capsule.

UNLABELLED: We describe the results of clear lens extraction in 7 eyes of 4 Alport-syndrome patients. Three patients (6 eyes) had both anterior and posterior lenticonus; the fourth patient had spontaneous rupture of the anterior lens capsule, resulting in an acute drop in vision. Clear lens extraction was an effective method for visual rehabilitation in Alport syndrome patients.
