An 8-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat presented due to unilateral cataract. Ophthalmological examination revealed a mature cataract without clinically detectable uveitis. Hematological and biochemical analyses were unremarkable, and tests for common infectious diseases associated with feline uveitis were negative. Electroretinography and ocular ultrasound were performed as part of the presurgical planning for phacoemulsification. Retinal function was normal. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a severely distorted shape of the posterior lens capsule (PLC) with hyperechoic material protruding into the vitreous body.
