Electrical injury of irides

Abstract

Electrical injuries to the eye can have diverse manifestations. However, uveal tract injuries following exposure to electric current are infrequently reported. The present case report describes pigmentary changes in both irides in a 22 year old man following electrical injury. The changes persisted during the period of follow up for six months. Vision was not affected. This case report highlights a rarely reported feature of ocular electrical injury.
