We were consulted about suddenly occurring ocular symptoms in a 28-year-old woman with burns on her left foot on the same day after a lightning strike. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) values in the right and left eyes were LogMAR 0.09 and 0.69, respectively. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was 7 mmHg on the right and 4 mmHg on the left. Conjunctival hyperemia and corneal punctate epitheliopathy were present in the left eye at the biomicroscopic examination. Dilated fundus examination was normal in the right eye. In the left eye, the optic disc was normal but the macula was slightly pigmented. At the follow-up examinations performed 3 days later, visual acuity was normal in the right eye and it was 0.04 (LogMAR) in the left eye. In the right eye macula was normal and in the left eye maculopathy was present at fundus examination. An iridocyclitis attack developed in the left eye in the following 3 months and cataract was observed in the left eye in the 5th-month follow-up. At the 12th follow-up visit, visual acuity was unimpaired bilaterally and IOPs of both eyes were normal. No progression was determined in the cataract in the left eye. Bilateral OCT images were normal.
