contents <div>Rosette cataract is characterized by a star-shaped opacity that forms in the lens of the eye after blunt or penetrating trauma. Traumatic cataracts constitute a significant portion of ocular injuries, with rosette cataract being a distinctive subtype. Understanding its formation and progression is critical for effective management. Blunt trauma to the eye causes a shock wave that disrupts the lens fibres. This disruption leads to the characteristic rosette pattern due to peculiar lens fibres arrangement<strong>.</strong> Patients may present with blurred vision, glare, and photophobia due to associated traumatic iritis. The rosette pattern may be visible upon slit-lamp examination. In early stages, observation and protective eyewear may be recommended.  Significant visual impairment due to rosette cataract will require cataract surgery. Either small incision cataract surgery or Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the standard treatment for advanced cases. Timing of surgery depends on the degree of visual impairment and patient’s needs.</div> <div> </div>
