Corneal Blood Staining after Complicated Cataract Surgery

PURPOSE: To report the case of a patient with corneal blood staining after a complicated cataract surgery. OBSERVATIONS: We report on a 68-year-old woman who developed corneal blood staining secondary to hyphema after cataract surgery, despite the fact that intraocular pressure was not increased for...

description PURPOSE: To report the case of a patient with corneal blood staining after a complicated cataract surgery. OBSERVATIONS: We report on a 68-year-old woman who developed corneal blood staining secondary to hyphema after cataract surgery, despite the fact that intraocular pressure was not increased for a prolonged time. The corneal staining spontaneously cleared from the periphery towards the center. It was fully resolved after 2.5 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: In case of hyphema induced by cataract surgery, performance of early anterior chamber washout should be considered to prevent corneal blood staining and poor visual outcome.
