TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Medico-legal implications of traumatic cataract JO - Journal of forensic and legal medicine A1 - Moreschi, Carlo A1 - Da Broi, Ugo A1 - Lanzetta, Paolo SP - 69 EP - 73 VL - 20 IS - 2 N2 - Traumatic cataract is due to lens damage when mechanical, irradiative, electrical or chemical agents injury the globe. The appearance of a traumatic cataract is typically short and unilateral with rare spontaneous resolution and often involves other ocular anatomical areas. Medico-legal evaluation of the appearance and the consequences of a traumatic cataract requires a correct methodological approach with the support of qualified ophthalmological competences.
