A 49-year-old cataract patient with myotonic dystrophy had phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. Rubeosis iridis developed bilaterally 10 days later and began to regress without treatment 2 weeks after the surgery. It was completely absent 1 year after the surgery. These findings indicate that surgeons should be aware that rubeosis iridis can develop in myotonic patients after cataract surgery.
