Objective:

To report a rare case of complete posterior lens dislocation secondary to posterior capsule rupture following blunt trauma, highlighting its significance in clinical practice and summarizing its imaging characteristics and surgical management.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Complete posterior lens dislocation due to posterior capsule rupture is extremely rare.
    • Multimodal imaging is crucial for definitive diagnosis, impacting treatment decisions.
    • Individualized minimally invasive surgical strategies are effective.
    Interpretation:

    Special attention should be paid to concomitant occult optic neuropathy in elderly patients, as it may complicate recovery and visual outcomes.

    Limitations:
    • The case study is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
    • Long-term outcomes and potential complications, such as recurrent dislocation or vision loss, were not extensively discussed.
    Conclusion:

    Posterior capsule rupture with complete lens dislocation is a rare ocular trauma that can be effectively managed with appropriate surgical intervention.
