Hyphema is a condition where blood pools in the anterior chamber of the eye, in front of the iris and pupil. It can be caused by trauma to the eye or certain eye conditions. Treatment includes rest and avoiding activities that could increase eye pressure, such as bending over or lifting heavy objects, as well as medications to reduce inflammation and pain. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
