Petaloid Cataract with a Happy Ending

Cataracts can develop in an individual as a consequence of both blunt and penetrating injuries. The majority of the traumatic cataracts are visually significant and require intervention in terms of ocular surgery. We describe a case of a young individual presenting to us with the unilateral diminution of vision post blunt trauma 5 years back with the classical petaloid or flowershaped cataract who underwent a phacoemulsification surgery and posterior intraocular lens implantation. Proper history and diagnosis with timely management play a key role in deciding the prognosis.
