Summary:This report contains a study in retrospect of 50 patients treated for traumatic hyphema between 1964 and 1974 at the Kern Medical Center, Bakersfield, California. The prognosis for visual acuity is summarized in 3 distinct groups. The 50 patients studied were all treated in a similar manner by conservative method of bed rest with elevation of the head from 20 to 30 degrees and binocular patching. A review of our statistics, we believe, warrants this conservative method of treatment.
