Hyphema

A hyphema is bleeding into the front chamber of the eye, the space between the cornea and the colored part of the eye. It usually appears as visible blood pooling or layering that can blur or darken vision. Typical causes are blunt eye injury, surgical complications, or less commonly spontaneous bleeding from fragile vessels. Symptoms often include reduced vision, eye pain, sensitivity to light, and a reddish tint to what you see. An eye care professional diagnoses it by examining the eye and measuring the pressure inside the eye. Many small cases improve with rest, head elevation, a protective eye shield, and medications to control pain and inflammation. However, bleeding inside the eye can raise pressure or damage the cornea and optic nerve, so some situations require urgent treatment or surgery. Because complications can lead to lasting vision loss, anyone who suspects this condition should get prompt evaluation and follow-up care.
