Patient's question:
My friend's husband works as a loader, and recently, while leaving the store at night, he accidentally had another car accident, which resulted in the vehicle being completely destroyed on the spot. My friend's husband was injured very seriously. At the time, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't see anything, with his eyes unable to open. When the doctor examined him carefully at the hospital, it was discovered that he had traumatic hyphema in his right eye. How is traumatic hyphema treated?Doctor's answer:
Traumatic vitreous hemorrhage is primarily caused by bleeding in the retina after trauma, leading to blood entering the vitreous. The accumulation of blood can result in vision loss. Depending on the amount of bleeding, if the break is minor, treatment mainly involves the use of blood-activating and blood-resolving medications. If the bleeding is more significant, surgical treatment is required, as the organized blood can pull on the retina, potentially causing retinal detachment.
