Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat developed eye problems and high fat levels in the blood about a day and a half after receiving intravenous lipid therapy to treat permethrin poisoning. The cat showed signs of corneal lipidosis, which is a buildup of fat in the eye, but this condition improved on its own within three days without any additional treatment. This case highlights a rare side effect of the lipid therapy used for this type of poisoning.

Abstract
An 8-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat developed corneal lipidosis and marked hypertriglyceridemia approximately 36 hours after intravenous lipid therapy (IVLT) for the treatment of permethrin toxicosis. The cat's ocular changes resolved approximately 72 hours after IVLT without treatment. This study reports a rare complication of IVLT.
