Abstract:
Cataract development is one of the most common complications of ocular electrical injury. Our patient reported an electrical injury of his face 13 years ago that affected both eyes. Since that time he noticed progressive visual impairment of both eyes. At the time of first presentation in 2014, slit lamp examination showed characteristic opacities within the anterior and posterior subcapsular area of the lens. Cataract surgery led to full recovery of visual acuity.
