Different Types of Maculopathy in Eyes after a High-Voltage Electrical Shock Injury

Background: We report a case of different types of maculopathy in eyes after a high-voltage electrical shock injury. Case Report: A 43-year-old male suffered high-voltage electrical injury through his left arm. He underwent cataract surgery in both eyes 3 months after the injury, but there was no vision improvement. Ocular examination, including spectral domain optical coherence tomography, revealed diffuse retinal atrophy in the left eye which did not change until the final visit. In the right eye, an impending macular hole was observed but regressed spontaneously 9 months after the injury, and the visual acuity improved to 20/32 at the final visit. Conclusion: Two different types of maculopathy can occur in each eye after high-voltage electrical shock injury, and this might be due to asymmetric pathogenesis of the eyes according to the proximity to the route of electrical current.
