OBJECTIVE: To study the causes, clinical presentation, complications and visual outcome of hyphaema following closed @entity130 . DESIGN: Prospective study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: The study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan, from May, 1996 to June 1997. @entity1 AND METHODS: All cases of hyphaema, due to closed @entity130 , were included and history of @entity1 was recorded on a comprehensive proforma designed for this purpose. All cases were admitted for at least 5 days. Ocular examination included checking visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), slit lamp and fundus examination. @entity1 were treated accordingly and followed up for 90 days. RESULTS: Thirty-six eyes of 36 @entity1 with hyphaema were included in our study. Out of this, 88.89% were males and 11.11% females while 86% were 20 years of age or below. Almost 91.66% presented with primary hyphaema, 44.44% received @entity130 with stone and 27.77% with tennis ball while playing cricket. @entity130 during playing was noted in 66.66% of cases. Almost 62% of cases were having visual acuity in the range of @entity1577 to perception of light with good projection. IOP was raised initially in 41.66% cases. Only 33.33% needed surgical intervention. @entity726 was present in 13.88% and 5.55% had corneal blood staining. Majority of @entity1 (75%) improved to VA range of 6/6 to 6/12 and 19% @entity1 in our study ended up with @entity1939 in the affected eyes. CONCLUSION: Traumatic hyphaema is more frequently found among @entity1 and young male. @entity5513 , traumatic @entity231 and @entity1020 were common co-morbidities. @entity726 and corneal staining were the main complications. Nearly 1/5th of @entity1 ended up with @entity1939 in the affected eyes.
