Diagnosis is rubeosis iridis. saw internist, had carotid artery scan, blood tests for diabetes, ophthalmologist is having me come back for field vision test in two weeks. what else should be checked?

Multiple tests: Rubeosis irides is due to insufficient blood flow to the eye. If carotid is negative i would consider mra to asses cerebral blood flow. Also check theological factors including sed rate, c-reactive protein, CBC with differential, serum homocysteine, pt, ptt, and lipid profile.

How is the angle and: The retina? I agree completely with your work up so far but have you had a Fluorescein angiogram to rule out a vein occlusion? On the therapeutic side i would consider laser or possibly anti vegf. And watch for neovascular glaucoma.
