    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma care

    Background:

    • Traumatic hyphema poses risks of secondary hemorrhage, corneal blood staining, and optic atrophy.
    • Effective management is crucial to prevent long-term vision impairment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline current therapeutic strategies for traumatic hyphema.
    • To delineate indications for surgical intervention and preferred surgical techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established treatment modalities for traumatic hyphema.
    • Emphasis on conservative management including eye patching, shielding, and regular ophthalmological examinations.
    • Pharmacological interventions such as topical atropine, aminocaproic acid, and antiglaucoma medications.
    • Surgical criteria based on hyphema size and risk assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Conservative management is effective for smaller hyphemas.
    • Surgical intervention is indicated for hyphemas exceeding 50% of the anterior chamber.
    • Irrigation/aspiration and vitrectomy are preferred surgical techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • A multi-modal approach is essential for managing traumatic hyphema.
    • Timely intervention, tailored to hyphema severity, minimizes complications and preserves vision.
