He reported a history of blunt right eye injury while 18 months ago. At the time of the injury, the patient was asymptomatic.

Figure 1: Biomicroscopic images of the right eye after pupil dilation showing a white dense cataract with adhesions of the iris to the lens at 3 and 9 o’clock.

The visual acuity of the right eye was reduced to light perception and was 10/10 in the left eye. Intraocular pressures measured in both eyes were within the normal limit. The anterior segment examination of the right eye showed a white dense cataract. After dilation, Iris adhesions to the lens (posterior synechiae) were present at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock (Figure 1).
