Persistent oozing: Are we overlooking something?

This report highlights two cases of undiagnosed haemorrhagic disorders presenting with excessive bleeding during or after routine ocular procedures. Case 1 involved a 50-year-old male with intraoperative bleeding during cataract surgery, later diagnosed with aplastic anaemia. Case 2, a 31-year-old male, experienced post-operative bleeding after chalazion excision, with haematological tests revealing haemophilia. Both patients required specialised treatment, including haematology consultation and specific factor replacement therapy. These cases emphasise the importance of high suspicion and early recognition of underlying coagulation disorders in cases of uncontrolled ocular bleeding which can be a crucial indicator of such conditions.
