Traumatic hyphaema treated ambulatory and without antifibrinolytic drugs.
Forty-four patients referred consecutively over a period of one year for treatment of traumatic hyphaema have been treated ambulatory and with no drugs. Four patients developed secondary haemorrhage; three regained normal visual acuity. The frequency of secondary haemorrhage is not statistically different from that in two previously published patient groups treated with bed rest and with tranexamic acid, respectively.
