Abstract
Dengue hemorrhagic fever can present with sight-threatening complications, endemic in Asian countries. We report a case of a young patient who presented with unilateral hyphema having dengue hemorrhagic fever. The patient presented to us with hyphema & raised IOP during the thrombocytopenic state, resulting in corneal blood staining. After the platelet counts came to normal, the hyphema wash was done. The eye eventually ended in phthisis bulbi. The dengue-related ophthalmic complication is lesser known & needs for creating awareness among the treating ophthalmologists & physicians regarding the sight-threatening complications of dengue fever, for early referral & prompt management.
