“…Congenital biphakia (2 crystalline lenses in the same eye) was first published in a case report by Von Graefe in 1854 2 and is an extremely rare condition, having only been reported in a few cases since. These cases discuss the presence of biphakia with and without other ocular abnormalities, 3 such as hourglass cornea, 1 uveal coloboma, 4 iris coloboma, 2 cleft anterior segment, 5 and diplophthalmos, 6 as well as its appearance alongside congenital na-sal and craniocervical deformities. 4,6 Notably, in our review of the literature on congenital biphakia, all cases presented unilaterally rather than bilaterally.…”

In the aforementioned report of biphakia with congenital nasal abnormality, the patient also had a bifid eyelid and developmental delay 4 ; by contrast, this patient's developmental abnormalities were limited to right eye biphakia and an orofacial cleft.…”

A 72-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a choroidal mass and subluxed crystalline lens in the right eye. The patient had a history of congestive heart failure, cleft lip surgery as an infant, and right eye amblyopia. She reported occasional floaters and flashes in the right eye but denied any ocular complaints in the left eye. On examination, her visual acuity measured 3/200 OD and 20/30 OS, stable compared with her baseline. Her intraocular pressure was 18 mm Hg OD and 14 mm Hg OS. Right eye slitlamp biomicroscopy showed an irregular pupil, aphakia, and a pigmented mass behind the temporal iris (Figure 1A). Ophthalmoscopic examination results revealed a subluxed white cataractous lens in the inferior vitreous base (Figure 1B). An evaluation of the left eye yielded normal results aside for a moderate cataract. B-scan ultrasonography results showed the 2 masses described previously; both were moderately reflective, oval, and separate from the wall of the eye. Ultrasonography biomicroscopy (UBM) confirmed that the temporal mass and the inferiorly subluxed lens were separate from the iris and ciliary body and were similar to each other in size, shape, and density.
