Abstract
A twenty-three year old male patient was admitted to our clinic with vision loss in both eyes. He had a history of experiencing an electrical shock 5 years ago and had a decrease in visual acuity over the past 5 years. On ocular examination, the patient had a best corrected visual acuity of 6/10 in his right eye and 2/10 in his left eye. Intraocular pressure was normal in both eyes. On biomicroscopic examination; bilateral anterior subcapsular and cortical lens opacities were present. Fundus examination of both eyes were normal. Based on the history and ocular examination, we made a diagnosis of electrical cataract. Cataract surgery was recommended to the patient under topical anesthesia, but the patient turned down surgery, opting instead to follow up with regular examinations

Abstract
Yirmi üç yaşında erkek hasta her iki gözünde görme kaybı şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın alınan öyküsünde 5 yıl önce elektrik akımına kapıldığı ve bu beş yıl içerisinde görme keskinliğinin giderek azaldığı öğrenildi. Oftalmolojik muayenede sağ gözde en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği 6/10 iken sol gözde 2/10 idi. Göz içi basınç her iki gözde normaldi. Biomikroskopik muayenede iki taraflı ön subkapsüler ve kortikal lens kesafetleri izleniyordu. Fundus muayenesi her iki gözde normaldi. Hastanın öyküsü ve göz muayene bulguları ile elektrik kataraktı tanısı kondu. Hastaya topikal anestezi altında sol göz öncelikli olmak üzere katarakt cerrahisi önerildi. Cerrahi tedaviyi kabul etmeyen hasta takibe alındı
