Abstract

PURPOSE: To describe two cases of traumatic lens subluxation resulting from pickleball injury.

METHODS: Case series.

RESULTS: A 77-year-old man presented with worsening vision and was noted to have subluxation of his intraocular lens 10 days after being struck in the eye with a pickleball. The patient underwent a lens exchange with scleral fixation. A 76-year-old woman presented with blurry vision on the same day as her injury and was noted to have subluxation of her crystalline lens. She also underwent a lens insertion with scleral fixation. However, she experienced additional complications of postoperative cystoid macular edema and traumatic glaucoma.

CONCLUSION: We recommend increased use of eye protection in pickleball.
