Abstract
Ophthalmologic involvement in hypoparathyroidism can affect each of the components of the eye. However, it has a particular tropism for the lens, the prevalence of cataract reaches approximately 50% of hypoparathyroid subjects. Cataracts are sometimes indicative of these affections. Its detection is a constant concern in the monitoring of patients, because it constitutes a severity index of the disease, and is likely to benefit from a specific management. In this case, we want to describe the aspect of cataract secondary to hypoparathyroidism, which is an etiology rarely encountered in ophthalmology, also describe its pathogenesis and report the other ophthalmological manifestations linked to this etiology which reflect a certain element of severity in order to detect and prevent them.
