Late hyphema after filtering surgery for glaucoma.
Four eyes of three patients developed spontaneous hyphemas eight months to three years after uncomplicated glaucoma filtering surgery. In two of the four eyes abnormal vessels could be seen at the internal margin of the trabeculectomy opening. Argon laser photocoagulation was successfully used to treat the bleeding, although one eye required multiple sessions.
