These<br>are particularly more common if the injury occurs over scalp. Electrical injury<br>induced cataract is usually bilateral though cases of unilateral cataract have also<br>been reported. We report a case of high voltage electrical injury in a 60 years old<br>male resulting in anisocoria, iritis, bilateral cataract and optic atrophy. Patient<br>underwent manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with posterior<br>chamber intraocular lens implantation in both eyes with poor visual recovery.<br>Fundoscopy revealed bilateral optic atrophy. This case highlights that in spite of<br>a good extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, the<br>final visual outcome will depend on other ocular damage due to electric current.<br>Key words: Electrical injury, iritis, cataract, optic atrophy.</p> ER -
