“…2 The viscoelastic cohesive agents alone can be used for a patient with hyphema to obtain a clear view after vitreous surgery. 6 However, we failed to obtain a clear view with active bleeding from neovascularization of the iris. In our case, the ability to partition the space and retain the anterior chamber by creating two layers of different viscoelastic substances was effective in maintaining a clear surgical view by blocking the hemorrhage from spreading into the optical path.…”

“…Traditionally, several modalities such as using local and/or systemic steroids, removing vitreous scaffolds, using localized radiation, repositioning of uveal tissue, and performing meticulous wound closure have been suggested to overcome this devastating complication. [4][5][6][7] More recently, proactive treatment approach (which involves limited vitrectomy during the primary repair, heavy topical corticosteroid therapy, and complete vitrectomy on Day 3) 8 and neutralizing the undesirable intraocular mechanical forces generated by PVR via preventive scleral buckling have also shown encouraging results. 9,10 However, there is still a need for finding more safe and effective alternatives.…”
