SpecialtyOphthalmology 

Hyphema is the medical condition of bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye between the iris and the cornea.[1] People usually first notice a loss or decrease in vision.[1] The eye may also appear to have a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris in the cornea. A traumatic hyphema is caused by a blow to the eye.[1] A hyphema can also occur spontaneously.[2]
