“…Since the positive hyphaema treatment results, referred to in the introduction, are calculated from combined prospective/retrospective materials with varying degrees of physical activities in the different parts of the studies, (Bramsen 1976(Bramsen , 1977(Bramsen , 1979 and from materials including patients with sickle cell trait, (Crouch & Frenkel 1976), these results all seem to be based on patient materials, being less equivalent than the present material.…”

“…occurring in the conservatively treated group is in agreement with findings made by Gregersen (1962), who reported increased intraocular tension with corneal staining and recurrent bleeding in five of 11 conservatively treated patients with s.h. Crouch & Frenkel (1976) reported a need of clot removal due to increased intraocular pressure and corneal staining in two out of nine conservatively treated patients with s.h. All three cases of s.h.…”

During the period from March 1978 to November 1979, 232 consecutive patients with traumatic hyphaema were allocated by admission-date to conservative treatment and to treatment with the antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid. Secondary haemorrhage occurred in only two of 102 tranexamic acid treated patients, while secondary haemorrhage occurred in 12 out of 130 conservatively treated patients. This difference was statistically significant. Some clinical aspects of the rebleeding cases are presented and briefly discussed.

“…These treatment options enable clearance of blood from the anterior chamber and prevent recurrent bleeding. [27,28] Hyphema was entirely resolved with topical steroids and cycloplegic agents in 83.8% (114) of our patients. Re-bleeding occurred in 9 patients (after medical treatment or surgical treatment), and 3 of them needed anterior chamber lavage.…”

“…17 However, by stabilizing the clot, they also increase the time of clot absorption. 18 A meta-analysis has confirmed that oral plasmin inhibitors decrease the incidence of rebleeding, but did not demonstrate any significant effect on final visual acuity. 4 Hyphema alone should not cause chronic glaucoma, since once the bleeding stops and the last RBC clears the TM there is no underlying mechanism to elevate the IOP.…”
