Description
We report the case of a 56 year -old patient, with the notion of a neglected ocular trauma of the right eye 6 years ago, with a progressive decrease in visual acuity for 4 years. The ophthalmological examination of the right eye showed a visual acuity with finger movement, an ocular tone of 15 mmhg with a regressive cataract in the anterior segment with a retracted aspect and an embossed anterior surface. Ocular ultrasound was performed and returned normal. The ophthalmological examination of the left eye did not reveal any abnormality. A phacoemulsification cataract surgery was performed with a good postoperative evolution.
