| Corneal blood staining may occur in situations
where there is long standing anterior chamber hemorrhage or hyphema
present. This is more likely to occur if the intraocular pressure is also
increased or if the corneal endothelium has been damaged. Breakdown
products of red blood cells, such as hemoglobin, may diffuse into the
stroma causing staining of the cornea. Histologically, the corneal blood
staining is characterized by small light-red or brown staining globules or
spheres which are located predominately between the corneal lamellae (#22198
and #22199).
Corneal blood staining may clear over a long period of time (months to
years) beginning in the periphery. |
