Abstract
We present a case of a 4 year old female with repaired corneal tear 3 months back due to penetrating ocular trauma by an unknown object. She complained of sudden diminution of vision. On examination, traumatic cataract with iris incarceration in wound and posterior synechiae were observed which was managed successfully by pupilloplasty followed by traumatic cataract extraction with anterior vitrectomy and sulcus intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Post surgery the BCVA improved from FCCF to 5/60 on first post-operative day with a round and regular pupil.
Keywords: Penetrating ocular trauma, Traumatic cataract, Pupilloplasty, Sulcus IOL.
