Slit-lamp examination revealed posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL), iris elevation at 9 o\'clock and narrowing of anterior chamber angle in the right eye. Although the clinical findings were suggestive for ciliary body mass, ultrasonic biomicroscopy (UBM) demonstrated IOL haptic dislocation at the elevated area. UBM imaging is an important imaging modality that allows visualization of posterior chamber and provides information in the differential diagnosis of localized bulging of the iris.
