Abstract
Intraocular ischemia can lead to an overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This in turn can lead to neovascularization in the anterior and/or posterior segment of the eye, e.g. in the iris or the retina. This article reports a case of neovascularization of the lens due to occlusion of the central retinal vein.Entities:
