## TL;DR

This paper discusses a rare case of angle-closure glaucoma caused by a spontaneously dislocated lens moving backward.

## Contribution

It highlights the rarity and clinical significance of posterior lens dislocation causing acute angle closure.

## Key findings

- Posterior lens displacement leading to angle-closure glaucoma is uncommon.
- Several studies have documented this rare occurrence.

## Abstract

The occurrence of acute angle closure with posterior displacement of the lens is rare compared with that of anterior dislocation; however, several studies have reported its occurrence.
