A 17-year-old male presented with sudden onset painless diminution of vision in the right eye post blunt trauma to eye with tennis ball 2 days ago. Visual acuity (VA) was 2/60 in the right eye, improving to 6/9 with a refraction of –6.50/–0.50 × 30°, and 6/9 in left eye improving to 6/6 with a refraction of –1DS. Addition of cycloplegic agent did not alter the refractive status. Slit-lamp examination showed shallow anterior chamber with crystalline lens and commotion retinae in right eye, while the left eye was within normal limits. His intraocular pressure was 14 and 20 mm Hg in the right and left eye, respectively.
At presentation, there was shallowing of the anterior chamber well demonstrated by ASOCT, UBM, and IOL master (2.55 mm), with an increase in lens thickness (3.92 mm) on A-scan and ciliochoroidal effusion with ciliary body edema and anterior rotation of ciliary processes on UBM [Figure 1] and [Table 1], which returned to normal (ACD 3.68 mm and LT 3.63 mm) with improvement in VA to 6/9 on follow-up visit on day 10 [Figure 2]. Left eye was within normal limits [Figure 3]. | Figure 1: (a) Infrared image of anterior segment of right eye (b) 16 mm radial scan ASOCT (DRI Triton, Topcon Inc., Japan) showing disappearance of ciliary sulcus with increased iris convexity and anterior lens capsular reflection (c) 6 mm ASOCT scan focused at limbus highlighting the angle structures, yellow dotted lines represent the mirror image of the corneal scan, yellow rectangular box showing obliterated ciliary sulcus (d) UBM (Ophthalmic Technologies, Toronto, Canada) showing shallow anterior chamber depth with forward bowing of iris with anteriorly rotated ciliary process (arrowhead) with ciliochoroidal effusion (star)

| Discussion | |  |
Posttraumatic transient myopia varies between –4.75D and –5.25D.[1],[2] Various pathogenic mechanisms include increased anteroposterior thickness of lens,[1] an anterior shift of lens-iris diaphragm,[3] ciliary spasm,[4] and ciliochoroidal effusion with ciliary body edema.[5] The ciliochoroidal effusion and ciliary body edema results in anterior rotation of ciliary body and ciliary processes, resulting in narrowing or disappearance of the ciliary sulcus; reduces the distance between opposing ciliary processes, and slackens the lens zonules which result in increase in lens thickness and anterior shift of lens-iris diaphragm.[1]
Use of multimodal imaging complements the clinical findings and helps to better demonstrate the etiology of anterior segment changes post blunt trauma.
