ABSTRACT

Background: myotonic dystrophy or Steinert disease is a multisystemic disease that displays an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with an almost complete penetrance and it can present various ways of presentation.
Objective: to describe a case treated for bilateral cataract associated to Steinert syndrome. The patient was diagnosed and treated in the Ophthalmologic Center in the province of Camagüey from July to December, 2013.
Clinical case: the case of a thirty-one-year-old female patient with a general pathological history of Steinert syndrome is presented. Her symptoms included a slow and progressive diminution of vision of some years of evolution that quickly advanced because of pregnancy and caused her reduction of sight in both eyes three months after giving birth. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral cataract in the course of the disease. Laser iridotomies were made in both eyes, as well as the extracapsular extraction of the lens with implant of intraocular lenses (IOL). Three months later, a better corrected visual acuity of 1.0 in both eyes was achieved.
Conclusion: it was shown that with the application of an adequate clinical method, a satisfactory visual result can be guaranteed, even for uncommon diseases.
