The medical management of traumatic hyphaema: a survey of opinion among ophthalmologists in the UK

B C Little et al. J R Soc Med. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

Current attitudes to the medical management of traumatic hyphaema were investigated by means of a postal survey. A single page questionnaire was sent to all consultant ophthalmologists in the UK who were members of the college of ophthalmologists. The response rate was 50%. Opinion was sharply divided on the use of bed rest, padding and topical therapy. However, there was almost universal agreement that systemic therapy, either steroids or antifibrinolytics, were not indicated.
