  • Title: Unusual presentation of Amsler's sign in Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis.
    Author: Ashwin PT, Tambe K, Quinlan M.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2006 Sep; 32(9):1579-80. PubMed ID: 16931278.
    Abstract:
    Hyphema occurring after ocular paracentesis has been described as a classic feature of Fuchs' heterochromic uveitis (FHU) (Amsler's sign). We describe a case of hyphema occurring after peribulbar anesthesia in a patient with FHU. The bleeding occurred before the surgery began. Although the occurrence of this phenomenon does not preclude successful surgical outcomes, topical anesthesia may lower the risk preoperatively.
