ABSTRACT
A twenty year old male patient was exposed on his right temporal portion of head to 22,000 volt alternating electric current on December 12, 1978. He lost consciousness for about three days. He sustained second and third degree burn on exposed site and right lower extremity. Right lower leg was amputated months later at orthopedic deparment. And diminution of vision began to be felt on April 1979. So he visited to our ophthalmic O.P.D. on June 11, 1979. On the first ocular examination, the visual acuity of both eyes was similar -Hand Movement- and the intraocular pressure of right was 14.6 mmHg and that of the left was 17.3 mmHg. And light projection and color perception of both eyes were good. There were multiple round punctate opacities in anterior subcapsular region and total opacification of lens cortex were also noted in both eyes by slit lamp examination. On June 12, 1979, intracapsular lens cryoextraction of right eye was done with Zonolysin(R) application and five days later left eye was operated by the same procedure. Corrected visual acuity of both eyes was 20/20 without significant complication.
