    Surgical removal of hyphema using the Ocutome vitrectomy system successfully restored vision in most patients. This minimally invasive technique effectively cleared blood and maintained healthy intraocular pressure, preventing vision loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Vitreoretinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Hyphema, or blood in the anterior chamber of the eye, can cause significant vision impairment.
    • Traditional management may involve observation or more invasive procedures.
    • Effective and safe surgical interventions are needed to manage hyphema.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a surgical technique for hyphema removal using the Ocutome vitrectomy system.
    • To report the outcomes of this technique in a cohort of patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical removal of hyphema was performed using the Ocutome vitrectomy system.
    • The procedure involved direct removal of blood from the anterior chamber.
    • Intraocular pressure and visual acuity were monitored postoperatively.

    Main Results:

    • Successful blood removal in a single operation for all 12 patients.
    • Eleven of 12 eyes maintained intraocular pressure below 20 mm Hg.
    • Vision improved in 11 of 12 eyes, with six achieving 6/18 or better.

    Conclusions:

    • The Ocutome vitrectomy system provides an effective surgical option for hyphema removal.
    • The technique is associated with successful blood clearance, controlled intraocular pressure, and improved vision.
    • No permanent vision loss was attributed to the surgical technique.
