An 10-year-old boy came as emergency case to ophthalmology clinic in a teaching Alwahda Derna hospital with trauma right eye by spoon food accidentally by his sister for evaluation of a possible open globe and management. The boy complained of pain, was taken to the local emergency treatment center for evaluation. A slit lamp examination failed to reveal a foreign body. Early the next morning he awoke with worsening pain. On examination by ophthalmologist noted a small corneal laceration 2 to 3 mm at 8 to 9 - O clock and lenticular change (cataract). Results show no prior ocular injury, surgery, or illness. Also, patient was with known case of cerebral palsy. The spontaneous resolution occurred through 6 months. Treatment of pediatric traumatic cataract and conservative management with lens preservation is important for young traumatic cataract patients rather than invasive surgical intervention.
