Bizarre Cataract due to Electric Shock

A high-voltage electrocution to the human body can cause a range of ocular complications, including cataract formation, retinal detachment or optic nerve damage. A 20-year-old male patient with a history of direct contact with high-voltage wire a year ago was reported to the ophthalmology department. The patient was presented with progressive defective vision in both eyes, with best corrected visual acuity of 6/24 in the right eye and 6/36 in the left eye. Slit-lamp evaluation demonstrated multiple opacities predominantly in the anterior and posterior subcapsular regions of both lenses. Phacoemulsification with foldable hydrophobic posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation was performed in both eyes one week apart. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the patient achieved the visual acuity of 6/6 in both eyes. In conclusion, early diagnosis and timely surgical management of electric cataract may be managed successfully with standard phacoemulsification, without the need for additional intraoperative precautions or extended postoperative therapy. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention can provide excellent visual rehabilitation in such cases.
