Abstract

 A 25 year old male reported to eye- opd with complaint of diminution of vision of left eye for 20 days following electric shock (11,000v) approximately three months back. On examination he had a unilateral star shaped anterior subcapsular cataract in his left eye. He was operated for cataract and achieved 6/6 and N6 visual acuity 3 weeks after surgery. This case highlights rare unilateral cataract following electric shock and excellent outcome following surgery provided fundus and optic nerve are unaffected. Need for awareness of this complication and screening of all cases of electric injury is emphasized.

Keywords: Anterior Subcapsular Cataract Electric Shock; Unilateral Star Shaped Cataract.
