We treated all the patients by absolute bed rest. binocular patches, enzyme and osmotherapy, and in some cases, anterior chamber irrigation was performed. The following conclusions were obtained; 1) It took 2~3 1/2 days to be absorbed in the cases of hyphema less than one-quarter volume of anterior chamber. 2) It took 4-16 days in the cases of total hyphema. 3) In most cases of hyphema more than three-quarters volume of anterior chamber, they were associated with other ocular injuries and also shawed poar visual prognosis.
