OBSERVATIONS: A 19-year-old Asian female presented with progressive bilateral visual decline and hand tremors over 10 years.

Surgical intervention was undertaken to improve visual acuity.

Anterior segment imaging documented bilateral lens subluxation and microspherophakia before and after intraocular lens suture fixation surgery.

“
Conclusion

This case demonstrates the importance of basic slit-lamp examination especially after cycloplegic refraction for unusual myopia progression and the need to recognize associated systemic symptoms in ophthalmic practice.
