Usually not treated: It is not clear from your question, but this may have been present at birth. A dislocated lens is a lens that has moved out of position because ligaments supporting it are weak or broken. This can lead to blurred vision which may be correctable by glasses. Obviously, the best resource for your daughter is a pediatric ophthalmologist. Trust your children's eye specialist to guide you through this.
