Electrical trauma can cause bilateral cataracts. Extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation successfully restored vision in a young patient with electrical cataract.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Electrical injuries, particularly high-voltage incidents, can lead to significant ocular damage.
  • Cataract formation is a known, albeit uncommon, consequence of electrical trauma.

Observation:

  • A young patient presented with bilateral cataracts (anterior and posterior subcapsular) in the right eye and pseudophakia in the left eye.
  • The patient reported a history of progressive, painless vision loss following a high-voltage electrical injury.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation in the right eye.
  • Postoperatively, the patient achieved good visual rehabilitation, with uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 in both eyes.

Implications:

  • Extracapsular cataract extraction with PCIOL implantation demonstrates excellent surgical outcomes and visual rehabilitation for electrical cataracts.
  • This case highlights the potential for successful visual restoration in patients with electrically induced cataracts, even in the absence of other ocular damage.
