A case of anterior uveitis, macular cyst and retinal detachment following electric shock injury.

A 30-year-old male patient presented with diminution of vision post electric shock injury. His right eye had a fibrinous reaction in the anterior chamber which resolved with topical steroids. Left eye had a macular cyst which resolved spontaneously, and a full thickness retinal defect extending 3 clock hours with shallow subretinal fluid which was barraged [Fig. 1]. Macular holes, macular cysts and retinal detachments have been observed post electric shock injuries with surgical intervention needed for the detachments.[12345] In our case, the retinal detachment was managed conservatively with laser barrage as it was localised and had no posterior vitreous detachment.
