| Abstract | Although atopic cataracts commonly occur in adolescent and young adult patients with severe atopic dermatitis, we observed a 34-year-old woman with mild atopic dermatitis who abruptly developed atopic cataracts in both eyes when she suffered from severe allergic contact dermatitis on the face. This case seems to suggest that prompt control of severe dermatitis on the face in patients with atopic dermatitis is important for prevention of atopic cataract, whether the dermatitis on the face is atopic or nonatopic in nature. |
