Hyphema
When a hyphema appears it is worth acting quickly: it is the buildup of blood inside the anterior chamber of the eye, the space located between the cornea and the iris, almost always after a blow or eye injury.
Why it requires attention: the blood can affect the internal pressure of the eye and vision if it is not properly monitored.
Common signs: blurred vision, pain, sensitivity to light, and, at times, a visible level of blood over the iris.
Which specialist evaluates it? The ophthalmologist is the right professional to examine the eye and provide follow-up; in the face of a recent eye injury, seeking evaluation without delay is essential to protect your sight.
