Özet

Twenty-nine years old male applied to our clinic with complaints of loss of vision in both eyes, more often in the left eye. The patient had trauma with electrical shock 15 years ago, and his visual acuity gradually decreased in these fi fteen years. Biomicroscopic examination revealed bilateral posterior subcapsular and cortical lens opacities. In the left eye, the optic disc was pale, common chorioretinal atrophies, and hyperpigmented lesions were observed. There was approximately 5 cm scar at the temporal side of the left eyebrow, which the patient expressed as an electrical burn. Based on the patient’s history and eye examination fi ndings, it was considered as cataract, and retinal atrophy due to electrical injury, and the patient was followed up.
