Description:

People with sickle cell trait (SCT) who experience an eye injury are more likely to develop glaucoma post-hyphema. This condition can lead to impaired vision and may even cause permanent eye damage. Therefore, if you have a patient with SCT who has suffered an eye injury, it is important that they are evaluated right away by an ophthalmologist who can closely monitor their care.
