Diagnosis:	Neovascularization on Anterior Segment (Rubeosis Iridis) after Multiple Intraocular Surgeries (Colour Image)
Comment to photo:	We see a pupil with an iridal neovascularization and a retropupillary fibrotic membrane. Initially there was a perforating corneal trauma by a metallic foreign body. Several intraocular surgeries were performed (ppVitrectomy with Cerclage, re-ppVitrectomy with silliconinstillation, cyclocryocoagulation). Visus Nulla lux, no VEP-signal, no ERG-signal, IOP 23 mmHg.
