He had a history of lightning strike injury 6 months before. His visual acuities were 5/100 Snellen lines in both eyes. The right eye revealed anterior subcapsular cataract with a normal fundus; the anterior segment was normal with a macular hole in the left eye. He underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling in the left eye. At the postoperative 1st month visit his visual acuity was 9/10 Snellen lines and the hole was closed with normal foveal contour. Albeit rare, lightning strike injuries cause severe ocular problems. As soon as the survival is kept, thorough ocular investigation is required. Keywords : Cataract, Lightning strike, Macular hole
