PURPOSE To investigate the effect of subconjunctival injection of liposome-bound, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) on the absorption rate of subconjunctival hemorrhages. METHODS Subconjunctival hemorrhages were induced in both eyes of 30 rabbits by the subconjunctival injection of 0.1 mL of autologous blood from auricular marginal veins. After 8 hours, randomized subconjunctival injections...
