A 60-year-old male who had a history of contusive trauma to the left eye 16 years ago, having presented for a cataract screening consultation. Examination of the left eye showed a corrected visual acuity of 20/200, eye tone was normal. Slit-lamp examination revealed a clear cornea, quiet anterior chamber with a good depth; lens was site of a regressive cataract with an intact capsular bag and persistence of cortex to the periphery after resorption of the nucleus. The patient underwent phacoaspiration with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) in the bag.
