“…In recent years, there have been few reports evaluating the association between conjunctivochalasis and SCH 18–21. Mimura et al18 reported that conjunctivochalasis-related parameters were more severe in SCH than in control patients, especially the grade of conjunctivochalasis, which was higher in the SCH patients at the nasal and temporal conjunctiva.…”

“…Another study reported by Wells et al20 demonstrated that conjunctivochalasis resulting from circumferential drainage blebs following trabeculectomy might prompt SCH. The authors explained the possible mechanisms as damage of conjunctival vessels from the bulge of bullous conjunctiva, and degeneration of fibrous connections between the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule 20,21…”

Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a benign disorder that is a common cause of acute ocular redness. The major risk factors include trauma and contact lens usage in younger patients, whereas among the elderly, systemic vascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis are more common. In patients in whom subconjunctival hemorrhage is recurrent or persistent, further evaluation, including workup for systemic hypertension, bleeding disorders, systemic and ocular malignancies, and drug side effects, is warranted.

“…The most common causes for SCH are HT, anticoagulant agent and history of Valsalva (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Other causes of SCH are rarely seen (1,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). The most important result of this study is; HT, anticoagulant agent and patient with a history of Valsalva were compared with the control groups in terms of refractive error, anterior segment parameters and axial length measurements and a significant difference were detected in patients with HT.…”

Subconjunctival hemorrhage(SCH) is a painless disease that occurs as a result of the localized extravasation of blood to subconjunctival tissue and episcleral space by suddenly rupturing conjunctival vessels. Our aim is evaluate the refractive status, axial length and anterior segment parameters in patients with subconjunctival hemorrhage in this study. A fifty-one eye of 51 patients with subconjunctival hemorrhage and 40 eyes of 40 healthy individuals were enrolled in this prospective study. In detail, systemic diseases, used drugs, and other risk factors were questioned. After demographic questioning, a detailed biomicroscopy eye examination was performed for risk factors. Then refractive error, intraocular pressure, axial length, lens thickness, central corneal thickness, and anterior chamber depth were measurements performed. The mean age of patients with SCH was 49.4±6.8 (28-59) and the mean age of the control group was 50.4±6.8 (32-57). In terms of risk factors of SCH, the patients were divided into 3 groups that had sufficient statistical analysis (HT, use of anticoagulants and history of Valsalva). According to results, a significant difference was found between patients with HT and control groups in terms of spherical refraction (hyperopia) (p<0.001), short axial length (p<0.001) and narrow anterior chamber depth (p<0.001). In addition a significant negative correlation between axial length and SCH repeat number (p= 0.036, r =-0.544). No significant difference was detected between anticoagulant usage-Valsalva patients and the control group in terms of refractive error, anterior segment parameters and axial length(p>0.05). If the hyperopia, short axial length, and narrow anterior camera are detected in the examination of patients with SCH, the patients should be investigated in detail in terms of HT. In addition, eye related parameters were found to be important in SCH etiology.

Introduction:Subconjunctival hemorrhage or suffusion is bleeding that occurs between the conjunctiva and episclera. It has a distinctive look and often frightens patients. The causes can be varied. Objective: The research was undertaken in order to determine the characteristics of patients within whomsubconjunctival hemorrhage occur. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients of the Eye Department of the Health Center in KosovskaMitrovica, during 6 months. Results were analyzed SPSS ver 22, i GraphPad INSTAT software package. Results: The change was observed in 63 patients. Male gender was significantly more frequent. The age of patients was diverse-between 5 and 86 years. The causes and conditions associated with subconjunctival hemorrhages are usually eye trauma, in young,and arterial hypertension in elderly patients. Conclusion: Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a relatively common diagnosis in ophthalmology. The change is benign and spontaneously disappears during one to two weeks. It is important to note that the subconjunctival hemorrhage occur in patients with certain risk factors.
