Abstract
BackgroundLens dislocation is a common disease in ophthalmology, which leads to vision loss, while the lens dislocation caused by vomiting has not been reported yet. We report a case of lens dislocation caused by simple vomiting. This case further implicated for the pathogenesis of lens dislocation.Case presentationA 51-year-old male who complained about “dizziness, vomiting, and the vision decreased for 4 h in right eye”, after the eye examination, he was been diagnosed with “lens dislocation induced by simply vomiting “. Surgery was performed successfully.We highlight the pathogenesis and development of the lens dislocation in this rare condition.ConclusionLens dislocation could be induced by simple vomitting, which increased the vitrous cavity presure to shock the zonular fiber and push the lens into the anterior chamber.

Summary
Lens dislocation could be caused by many reasons and the most common one is ocular trauma [1], followed by ocular surgery and lens spontaneous dislocation due to hypermature cataract [2]. A simple vomiting directly leading to the monocular lens dislocation into the anterior chamber has not been reported yet We presented such a case in this paper as the following. Case presentation A male patient aged 51 years was admitted to our hospital on March 15, 2016 with a complaint of blurred vision in the right eye for 4 h after dizziness and vomiting. His vision acuity was 20/20 in both eyes after the physical examination just 1 month ago He was healthy with no history of systemic diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. No abnormality was found by general physical examination His vision acuity was hand moving (HM) in right eye and 20/25 in left eye. After 1 month, his corrected vision acuity was improved to 20/25 and the secondary intraocular lens suture fixation was performed 3 months later
