Q

Always treat traumatic hyphema with these medicines

A

TOPICAL CORTICOSTEROIDS and CYCLOPLEGIC drugs - reduce inflammation and put pupil at rest to reduce incidence of rebleeding. +/- oral corticosteroids if severe inflammation. Topical anti-hypertensives mainstay (beta-bloackers and alpha agonists)
