  • Title: Traumatic hyphema: treatment of secondary hemorrhage with cyclodiathermy.
    Author: Gilbert HD, Smith RE.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1976; 7(3):31-5. PubMed ID: 980375.
    Abstract:
    Four patients were treated with diathermy applications to the ciliary body for recurrent hemorrhage and elevated intraocular pressure following traumatic hyphema. In all cases, the hemorrhage and intraocular pressure were controlled without major complications. Indications for use of diathermy include a patient with recurrent secondary hemorrhage or a clotted hyphema, with elevated intraocular pressure or corneal blood-staining, in whom a site of bleeding can be identified during surgical intervention.
