Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Hematology

Background:

Sickle cell trait is a common inherited blood disorder.
Complicated hyphaema can lead to significant vision loss.

Observation:

Two cases of hyphaema associated with sickle cell trait were observed.
Patients presented with elevated intraocular pressure.

Findings:

The pathophysiology of increased intraocular pressure in sickle cell trait involves sickling of red blood cells.
Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing vision impairment.

Implications:

Understanding the link between sickle cell trait and hyphaema is vital for ophthalmologists.
Early intervention strategies can improve outcomes for affected patients.
