A 30-year-old male patient presented with defective vision post-trauma to the left eye (OS). His best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/50 OS. Examination revealed a very rare double rosette cataract in the shape of a “Double Amaryllis White Nymph” [Figure 1]. Amaryllis White Lymph flower features extra-large, peony-shaped, and pure white blooms. Double Amaryllis White Nymph is a rare and unusual variety in which a “double” flower is produced. In essence, what you have is a flower within a flower, visually mimicking the double rosette cataract reported in this manuscript. | Figure 1: The slit lamp biomicroscope image of the left eye shows “Double Amaryllis White Nymph” shaped milky white axial opacities suggestive of subcapsular opacification of the lens in a stellate fashion in two consecutive layers, which is depicted as a double rosette cataract

Rosette cataracts are usually a feature of blunt trauma and are rarely seen in diabetic patients.[1],[2],[3] Double rosette cataract has been reported only once in the literature; however, that patient did not have a history of trauma, whereas our case had.[4] Anterior segment imaging is mandatory to assess the morphology of these cataracts for optimizing phacoemulsification settings preoperatively, rather than intraoperative adjustments, because they play a crucial role in the final visual outcome.[5]
