HYPHAEMA


A hyphaema is common to eye trauma results from damage to blood vessels in the iris with hemorrhage into in front of the anterior chamber. As clotting does not readily occur in the aqueous humour the blood disperses through the anterior chamber where it obscures vision and impairs examination of the fundus. In time, the blood settles and creates a fluid level forms in the anterior chamber.
Usually, the hyphaema disappears within a few days even no treatment. Most of the case of hyphaema is need admission for further examination or to control any complication.
