Point of care ultrasound and ocular injuries: A case of lens dislocation and a comprehensive review of the literature

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can help the clinician diagnose different ocular pathologies including retinal detachment, vitreous detachment, lens dislocation, and intraocular foreign bodies. Ocular pathologies such as blurry vision, double vision, loss of vision, and eye trauma are common chief complaints and require a comprehensive evaluation in order to determine the etiology and choose the correct treatment. Specifically ultrasound can help the clinician decide whether an urgent ophthalmology consult is appropriate. We present a case in which a lens dislocation was diagnosed using POCUS and review the available literature.
