Patient's question:
My friend's husband works in loading and unloading. Recently, while leaving the store at night, he accidentally had another car accident, which resulted in the vehicle being 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. His eyes couldn't open either. When the doctor examined him carefully at the hospital, it was found 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 using blood-activating and blood-resolving drugs. If the bleeding is more significant, surgical treatment is required, as the organized blood can pull on the retina, potentially causing retinal detachment.
