Rubeosis capsulare.
J Cataract Refract Surg. 1990 Sep; 16(5):633-6.JC

Abstract

Two patients with diabetes had extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Both developed rubeosis iridis and neovascularization within the lens capsule supporting the IOL, a condition we have termed rubeosis capsular. Argon laser treatment was ineffective in both patients. One patient was successfully treated by virectomy with endophotocoagulation. The other patient had a vitrectomy which was followed by a fibrinoid reaction, continued inflammation, rubeosis, and phthisis bulbi.
