AIM: To study the treatment of traumatic hyphema. METHODS: The clinical data of 42 cases with traumatic hyphema from March, 2004 to March, 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment included (1) semi-reclining position and bandaging; (2) hemostasis and lowering the intraocular pressur; (3) sub-conjunctival injection of hyaluronidase and dexumethasone at the same time; (4) radical scavenger and drug promoting cell metabolism. Puncture and irrigation of anterior chamber were performed if necessary. RESULTS: Anterior chamber hyphema of grade I and grade II were absorbed actively after treatment. Most patients recovered in short time, but a few of grade II and grade III did not recover. CONCLUSION: Timely treatment of the hyphema at the early stage can make the anterior chamber hyphema absorbed actively, the visual function recovered to a large degree and the risks of complications such as secondary glaucoma, corneal blood stain decreased.
