Abstract

Electric shock injuries can result in various ocular complications, cataracts being the most common. We present a unique case of a 22-year-old male who experienced progressive bilateral visual blurring following accidental electric shock. Slit lamp examination revealed bilateral anterior capsular opacification with a distinctive crumpled tissue paper-like appearance on retro-illumination. Systemic examination confirmed scalp and leg entry and exit wounds consistent with electrocution history.
