Diagnosis: hyphema - occurring spontaneously in a severely challenged eye

Image Comments:

Dr. Caccamise had followed this 60 year-old patient for several years. While in college, he had fallen against a radiator. Over the years that eye had lost all vision and demonstrated a dense cataracta complicata. The iris developed neovacularization. The photo shows an eye with a pronounced hyphema and some bloodstaining of the cornea. A dense-white cataracta complicata occupies the pupil. There had been no light perception in the eye for many years. Enucleation was advised.
