raumatic hyphema is important as it is common following
blunt trauma and is increasing nowadays. Most results
from unnecessary eye injuries, especially in children, which
are largely preventable. The aim of the study is to evaluate
the final unaided visual acuity and the intraocular pressure
level on discharge of blunt traumatic hyphema management,
and to compare between grade 1 hyphema (low risk,
hyphema filling less than half of the anterior chamber) and
grade 2 hyphema (high risk, hyphema filling more than half
of the anterior chamber) or hyphema associated with a high
intraocular pressure regarding the final visual outcome on
discharge. Statistical analysis for frequencies was done using
the (Epi Info) program which is public domain statistical
software for epidemiology developed by Centers of Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia (USA).
Other results were analyzed using statistical package for
social science (SPSS) software (version 13). The design of the
study was a retrospective (descriptive) survey of all blunt
traumatic hyphema patients admitted in Shaheed Doctor
Aso Eye Hospital in Sulaimaniya City, Kurdistan Region of
Iraq during the period of January 1, 2008 to December 31,
2008. During the period of the study the medical records
of 54 patients, who were admitted due to blunt traumatic
hyphema, were retrieved and studied thoroughly regarding
their examination notes (unaided visual acuity, level
of intraocular pressure and slit-lamp examination) and
management was done (medical and surgical) through their
admission days in hospital.
