Bc. Little et Gw. Aylward, THE MEDICAL-MANAGEMENT OF TRAUMATIC HYPHEMA - A SURVEY OF OPINION AMONG OPHTHALMOLOGISTS IN THE UK, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 86(8), 1993, pp. 458-459
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 member
s of the college of ophthalmologists. The response rate was 50%. Opini
on was sharply divided on the use of bed rest, padding and topical the
rapy. However, there was almost universal agreement that systemic ther
apy, either steroids or antifibrinolytics, were not indicated.
