Abstract
27 year-old male patient presented with history of trauma to his left eye one month back sustained with pin of a rifle while cleaning the weapons in his unit. Post injury, he developed pain, redness and diminution of vision in the left eye. Vision at presentation was 6/6 unaided in the right eye and 6/24 in the left eye with no further improvement. Lids and adnexa were normal with no retained foreign body in both eyes. Right eye anterior segment and fundus evaluation was normal. Left eye had clear cornea, no cells and flare in AC, no hyphema. Pupillary reactions were normal, no iris sphincter tear was seen. Rosette shaped cataract was seen. Fundus examination was normal. Phacoemulsification with Intraocular lens implantation was done. Post-operative day vision was 6/6 unaided, clear cornea, mild AC reaction normal reacting pupil with well centred IOL in capsular bag. IOP was 16 and 19 mm Hg. Patient was placed on topical antibiotic and steroid eye drops. He has been kept on regular follow-up.
Keywords: Rosette cataract, Closed globe injury, Irrigation/Aspiration.
