Abstract
Due to the small number of cases, the mechanisms and preconditions of osseous metaplasia of the lens are not understood in detail, but injury to the lens capsule and availability of blood supply are being discussed. Both were present in this case, in which the luxated lens ended up in the ciliary body region. The mechanism resembled enchondral ossification rather than intramembranous ossification, which is seen in osseous metaplasia of other intraocular structures.
