Abstract:
Traumatic cataract is the severe result of an accident often concerning young patients, sometimes children. Anatomical and clinical presentations vary depending on whether the lens is luxated, the wound involves perforation, or there is an intraocular foreign body. The associated wounds and the late complications, particularly retinovitreous ones, can impair the visual prognosis sometimes over the very long term. The correction of aphakia with an intraocular lens should be decided on a case by case basis.
