Visual prognosis and complications of congenital ectopia lentis: study protocol for a hospital-based cohort in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Congenital ectopia lentis (CEL) is a rare ocular disease characterised by the dislocation or displacement of the lens. Patients with mild lens dislocations can be treated with conservative methods (eg, corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses). In contrast, patients with severe CEL usually require surgical management.

Methods and analysis

A cohort study will be conducted at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. We plan to rec
