Traumatic Cataract case
An 11 year-old male was referred to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for evaluation of a possible open globe. One day prior, while hammering on a taillight of an old automobile a glass shard flew into his right eye.
The boy complained of pain and a foreign body sensation and was taken to the local emergency treatment center for evaluation. A slit lamp examination failed to reveal a foreign body. Early the next morning he awoke with worsening pain and decreased vision.
A local ophthalmologist noted a corneal laceration and cataract, but could not rule out the presence of an intraocular foreign body and referred him to the UIHC.
Upon arrival, he continued to complain of pain and decreased vision in his right eye.
