Hyphema Diagnosis
An ophthalmologists will examine your eye completely to diagnose a hyphema. He or she will check:
- how well you can see
- the pressure in your eye
- the inside of your eye
In some cases, the ophthalmologist may order a CT scan. This scan checks the condition of the bones that form your eye sockets and other parts of your face.
An ophthalmologist examines
the inside of your eye with a
slit-lamp microscope.
