A Novel Procedure for the Management of Severe Hyphema after Glaucoma Filtering Surgery: Air–Blood Exchange under a Slit-Lamp Biomicroscopy
Background and Objectives: This study introduces a novel office-based procedure involving air–blood exchange under a slit-lamp microscope for treatment of severe hyphema after filtering surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 17 patients (17 eyes) with a diagnosis of primar...

description | Background and Objectives: This study introduces a novel office-based procedure involving air–blood exchange under a slit-lamp microscope for treatment of severe hyphema after filtering surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 17 patients (17 eyes) with a diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma with severe hyphema (≥4-mm height) after filtering surgery. All patients were treated with air–blood exchange under a slit-lamp using room air (12 patients) or 12% perfluoropropane (C3F8; five patients). Results: The procedures were successful in all 17 patients; they exhibited clear visual axes without complications during follow-up. In the room air group, the mean visual acuity (VA) and hyphema height significantly improved from 1.70 ± 1.07 LogMAR and 5.75 ± 1.14 mm before the procedure to 0.67 ± 0.18 LogMAR and 2.83 ± 0.54 mm after the procedure (p = 0.004; p < 0.001). In the C3F8 group, the mean VA showed a trend, though not significant, for improvement from 1.70 ± 1.10 LogMAR to 0.70 ± 0.19 LogMAR (p = 0.08); the mean hyphema height showed a trend for improvement from 5.40 ± 0.96 mm to 3.30 ± 0.45 mm. Compared with the C3F8 group, the room air group showed the same efficacy with a shorter VA recovery time. Conclusions: “Air–blood exchange under a slit-lamp using room air” is a convenient, rapid, inexpensive, and effective treatment option for severe hyphema after filtering surgery, and may reduce the risk of failure of filtering surgery. |
