    Mostly single case reports show that it occurred after cataract surgery, corneal grafting, traumatic hyphema, corneal ulcers, chemical burns and viscocanalostomy. [1], [2] Canaloplasty is a recent non-penetrating glaucoma surgical procedure, similar to [ijo.in]

    These include ophthalmic surgery, rubeosis iridis (abnormal blood vessel growth in the iris), vitreous hemorrhage (the presence of blood in the gel fluid behind the eye), blood dyscrasias (when the ingredients of the blood are irregular, such as in hemophilia [wounds1.com]

    iridis, myotonic dystrophy, leukemia, hemophilia, and von Willebrand disease. [1] Conditions or medications that cause thinning of the blood, such as aspirin, warfarin, or drinking alcohol may also cause hyphema. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Photosensitivity

    Once the amount of hemoglobin overwhelms the keratocytes’ capacity to metabolize it, they undergo necrosis. 5 This observed cell death might be due to photosensitivity, as McDonnell et al found that hematoporphyrin derivatives accumulate in the cells, [millennialeye.com]

DISCUSSION Etiology of endothelial damage, seen consistently in CBS, remains unclear. Messmer et al found extracellular hemoglobin concentrated in the posterior stroma, whereas intracellular hemosiderin predominated anteriorly. [millennialeye.com]

Etiology: A combination of hyphema and resultant elevated intraocular pressure are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of blood stained corneas. [missionforvisionusa.org]
