Case Reports Chorioretinal atrophy after electrical injury

چکیده
A 26-year-old-man who had suffered a severe electrical injury 3 years previously presented with blurred vision in his left eye caused by a posterior subcapsular cataract with nuclear sclerotic changes and peripapillary chorioretinal scarring.
