Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD) is characterized by a genetic abnormality of the enzyme named Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) which leads to hemolysis, neonatal jaundice and anemia. Bilateral cataract can be the ocular manifestation of G6PDD. This case reports a patient with G6PDD who presented to us with a unilateral typical lamellar cataract.
