Description
Iqbal and Osman in Dhaka report a young electrician whose lens clouded months after a high-voltage shock. The 21-year-old took current through his face from a power line, taking extensive burns. Five months later his left eye blurred more and more. Exams found flower-shaped cloudy spots typical of electric cataract.
Lens surgery with an implant proceeded without complications. Imaging then checked the back of the eye: retinal layers, nerve fibers, and optic capillaries all proved intact. His visual field tested normal. Vision reached perfect sharpness and held through twelve months, backing the guarded outlook.
