Abstract
Alport's syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by neurosensory hearing impairment and progressive kidney dysfunction. The syndrome affects both males and females but males manifest more serious kidney problems and have a higher mortality rate. Ocular manifestations occur in approximately 15% of these patients with anterior lenticonus being the most common. It is believed that this is the first reported case of a patient with Alport's syndrome and anterior lenticonus who underwent lensectomy and lens implant to improve visual function.
