(N.Morgan) A 42 year old electrician was left with star shaped cataracts in his eyes, after an electric shock.  The man came in contact with 14,000 volts of electricity, which sent a jolt of electrical current coursing through is body and also effecting his optic nerve.

Four weeks after the accident, Korn evaluated the patient, who was experiencing vision problems. An examination showed the man had “striking cataracts in both of his eyes,” that were star-shaped, Korn said. A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye.

The reason cataracts sometimes take on a star shape is not fully understood, Korn said. In animal studies, damage to the eye’s lens from electricity first appears as small bubbles called vacuoles on the outside of the lens. These bubbles then coalesce to form a star-shaped cataract, Korn said. Four months after the accident, the man had surgery to remove the cataracts and implant a new lens, and his vision improved slightly after the operation, Korn said. But the damage to his optic nerve still limited the man’s sight, Korn said.
