The term "green cataract" appears in the literature of the 16th century and at the same time it was mentioned that couching a green cataract would not restore the vision.
The cases of a 54-year-old women and a 74-year-old man with green cataract and the diagnosis of vitreous hemorrhage and end stage rubeosis iridis with absolute glaucoma and no light perception is recorded. In the second case an enucleation was performed. An iron stain of the lens revealed heavy accumulation of iron in the lens epithelium.
Green cataract is a distinct entity. It is due to the presence of blood pigments from the breakdown of intraocular hemorrhage. It is usually accompanied by rubeosis irides and an absolute glaucoma. The observation, that surgery of these cataracts will not restore light, is also correct.
“绿色白内障”一词出现在16世纪的文献中，同时提到对绿色白内障施行针拨术不能恢复视力。
记录了一名54岁女性和一名74岁男性患有绿色白内障的病例，诊断为玻璃体积血、绝对期青光眼伴虹膜红变终末期且无光感。第二例患者接受了眼球摘除术。晶状体铁染色显示晶状体上皮中铁大量蓄积。
绿色白内障是一种独特的疾病。它是由于眼内出血分解产生的血液色素所致。通常伴有虹膜红变和绝对期青光眼。这些白内障手术不能恢复光感这一观察结果也是正确的。
