Abstract

Cataract is one of the most common causes of defective vision globally, and one if the rare potential complication arising out of chemotherapy. This report highlights a rare case of bilateral Morgagnian cataract following neoadjuvant chemotherapy given for an oral cavity malignancy. A 65-year-old female presented with bilateral reduced visual acuity secondary to Morgagnian cataract with normal fundus. The patient underwent a successful cataract surgery in right eye preventing the eye from developing devastating sequelae like phacomorphic glaucoma, lens subluxation, or aphakia post-cataract surgery. The oncosurgeon, oncologist, and ophthalmologist should have a close liaison to prevent, diagnose, and treat these rare sequelae which could be potentially blinding.
