Abstract:

 


Subconjunctival hemorrhage(SCH) is a painless disease that occurs as a result of the localized extravasation of blood to subconjunctival tissue and episcleral space by suddenly rupturing conjunctival vessels. Our aim is evaluate the refractive status, axial length and anterior segment parameters in patients with subconjunctival hemorrhage in this study. A fifty-one eye of 51 patients with subconjunctival hemorrhage and 40 eyes of 40 healthy individuals were enrolled in this prospective study. In detail, systemic diseases, used drugs, and other risk factors were questioned. After demographic questioning, a detailed biomicroscopy eye examination was performed for risk factors. Then refractive error, intraocular pressure, axial length, lens thickness, central corneal thickness, and anterior chamber depth were measurements performed. The mean age of patients with SCH was 49.4±6.8 (28-59) and the mean age of the control group was 50.4±6.8 (32-57). In terms of risk factors of SCH, the patients were divided into 3 groups that had sufficient statistical analysis (HT, use of anticoagulants and history of Valsalva). According to results, a significant difference was found between patients with HT and control groups in terms of spherical refraction (hyperopia) (p0.05). If the hyperopia, short axial length, and narrow anterior camera are detected in the examination of patients with SCH, the patients should be investigated in detail in terms of HT. In addition, eye related parameters were found to be important in SCH etiology.
