A member asked:
Could inversion cause hyphema?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Hyphema is blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. This blood usually comes from blood vessels in the iris after surgery or trauma. I see no reason why inversion would cause this in the absence of prior trauma or damage to the iris.

Yes: Increased pressure from hanging upside down can elevate pressure inside the eye and cause bleeding.
