Fig. 1 Serial slit-lamp photographs of an 8-year-old boy with corneal blood staining following traumatic hyphema. The photographs demonstrate clearing of corneal-stained blood from the periphery toward the center with an abrupt demarcation line between cleared and stained corneal stroma 1 (A), 2 (B), 3 (C), 6 (D), 12 (E), and 15 (F) month(s) after trauma. Total clearing took 15 months and final visual acuity of 20 / 40 was obtained without any permanent corneal changes (F). Traumatic mydriasis and a cataract were noted in the affected eye.
