Abstract

Intraocular hemorrhage (hyphema), that occupying one half or less of the volume of the anterior chamber have a good prognosis and usually resolves without sequelae within 2-3 days. Traumatic hyphema that involve three quarters to the entire anterior chamber can obscure additional damage. Medical management seems to be the best therapy during the initial four-day period, even if total hyphema with moderately increased intraocular pressure is present, surgical intervention at this period produced no better results than did the medical therapy, were allowed to resolve spontaneously after four days.
