Here is a case of a 16-year-old boy, who fell down during a bike ride and completely recovered within 10 days, but after months later he complained of blur vision in one eye and was diagnosed with blunt traumatic cataract.
(Report belongs to me, the identification of the patient is hidden)
Modern phacoemulsification with IOL implantation is the only safe option in this case. The surgeon must be prepared for possible zonular insufficiency during the surgery.
Cataract surgery is a routine procedure. In this case, we need to explain the guarded visual outcome to the patient taking into consideration that we may encounter pre existing PC rent, zonulo-dialysis during surgery and damage to retina which may be revealed after cataract surgery. Help of retina specialist may be needed during surgery.
No .As in blunt injuries outcome is not predictable iol implication can be postponed
