Wikipedia
Hyphema
Hyphema is a condition that occurs when blood enters the front (anterior) chamber of the eye between the iris and the cornea. People usually first notice a loss of vision or decrease in vision. The eye may also appear to have a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris or in the cornea. A traumatic hyphema is caused by a hit to the eye from a projected object or a blow to the eye. A hyphema can also occur spontaneously.

This typically occurs as a result of injury or trauma to the eye, causing blood to collect and potentially obstruct vision. Symptoms can include blurred vision, pain, and increased eye pressure.
