PURPOSE: to investigate the observed high prevalence of spontaneous sub-conjunctival haemorrhage (SCH) in patients using long-term topical steroid treatment.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: a cross sectional survey of the occurrence of SCH was carried out in 248 patients using steroid eye drops and in a comparison group of 113 patients using topical glaucoma medication.
RESULTS: twenty-four patients with uveitis (10% of total) experienced single or recurrent SCH. Of these 71% used prednisolone acetate 1% (compared with 75% for those unaffected). None of 113 glaucoma patients were affected.
CONCLUSIONS: the long-term use of topical steroid for chronic uveitis substantially increases the prevalence of spontaneous or minimal-trauma SCH. Steroid-induced vascular fragility is the likely cause.
