We report a patient with ocular abnormalities due to Alport syndrome. Considerable improvement of visual acuity was obtained following ocular lens extraction with foldable lens implantation in the right eye to compensate the effect of the lenticonus anterior. The presence of conjunctival telangiectasia is a new clinical finding in a patient with Alport syndrome.
