Popis: Abstract Background Long anterior lens zonules (LAZs) is a rare disease that was mostly conducted among African Americans. Through the observation of a Chinese patient, we discoverd that the disease may show different characteristics in Asians. Case presentation A patient with vision loss due to a macular hole was found to have several special clinical signs during vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery in our hospital, including radially oriented lines on the anterior capsule with pigment, a shallow anterior chamber, slightly high intraocular pressure, and radial retinal stripes in the peripheral retina. Finally, he was diagnosed with long anterior lens zonule syndrome. Conclusion Clinicians need to pay more attention to the rare disease LAZs. It is important to tear the appropriate size of the anterior capsule so as to avoid radial capsular tearing and intraocular lens dislocation.
