Iris neovascularization with pseudoexfoliation syndrome

General: Anoxia secondary to iris vessel obstruction; electron microscopic 242c27c studies reveal endothelial thickening with decreased lumen size and fenestration of vessel walls.

Ocular: Material found on posterior and anterior iris surface, anterior lens surface, ciliary processes, zonules, and anterior hyaloid membranes; neovascularization of iris stroma; increased permeability of iris vessels.
