- W4383824671 abstract "A 53-year-old electrician presented with decreased vision in both eyes after having received an accidental high-voltage electric shock 6 weeks prior. Ocular examination showed bilateral total milky white cataract with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of perception of light in both eyes. There was a circumscribed hypertrophic scar over the root of the nose with central ulceration and well-defined erythematous margins, marking the entry point of the current. [Fig. 1] Bilateral sequential phaco-emulsification was performed with a recovery of BCVA of 20/30 in both eyes at 3 months. The median scar was managed conservatively by a plastic surgeon. Electric cataracts are a rare cause of presenile cataract. The strength of voltage is not directly related to the severity of cataract.[1] The exact cause, although unknown, has been attributed to the coagulation of lens proteins and damage to the capsule, resulting in osmotic changes.[2] Scarring because of fibroblast proliferation on the basement membrane and resultant loss of integrity of anterior capsule may also be a likely cause.[3] The cataract is usually unilateral or bilaterally asymmetrical.[4,5,6,7] However, only a single case report of bilateral intumescent cataract because of electric injury has been reported.[3] Hence, a history of electric shock must be elicited in all cases of presenile cataract, and the presence of entry and exit wounds should be looked for. Cataract surgery in the form of phaco-emulsification with intra-ocular lens implantation results in good visual recovery.[4,7]Figure 1: Bilateral total milky white cataract (red arrows) with circumscribed hypertrophic scar with central ulceration at the root of the nose (white arrow)Declaration of patient consent The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms.
