    Description
    A 44 year-old male presents with a complex ocular anomaly. Left eye examination reveals iris and extensive retinochoroidal coloboma involving both the optic disc and macula, associated with a dislocated crystalline lens. The large excavated colobomatous defect with disc–macula involvement suggests a guarded visual prognosis, further compounded by lens displacement. The fellow (right) eye is aphakic following prior vitreoretinal surgery for a dislocated lens, with barrage laser marks surrounding a coloboma that involves the disc but spares the macula. This case highlights the coexistence of posterior segment coloboma with lens subluxation/dislocation, posing both anatomical and therapeutic challenges.
