To characterize the pathophysiology of hyphema clearance, we studied changes in the facility of outflow in experimental hyphema in freshly enucleated rabbit eyes. Hyphemas, with washed normal or sickled red cells (RBCs) (suspended in isotonic phosphate buffer to obtain a hematocrit value comparable to that of whole blood) and occupying 50% to 100% of the anterior chamber volume, caused a marked...
