Hyphaema - what does this mean

Hyphaema is a condition in which blood accumulates in the anterior chamber of the eye, usually due to trauma or inflammation. it is caused by a tear in the wall of a blood vessel in the eye, which allows the blood to accumulate and form a pool of blood in the front chamber of the eye. this can cause pain, blurred vision, and other vision problems.

What happens during the disease - hyphaema

Hyphaema is a condition caused by the accumulation of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. it is typically caused by blunt trauma to the eye, which causes the rupture of small vessels in the eye, resulting in the accumulation of blood. this can lead to a decrease in vision, pain, and redness of the eye. in some cases, it can lead to complications such as glaucoma or cataracts.
