Intravitreal triamcinolone injections for subretinal neovascularization can cause a significant rise in intraocular pressure. Approximately 30% of patients experienced this side effect within three months, highlighting the need for patient awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Subretinal neovascularization (SRNV) is a significant cause of vision loss.
  • Intravitreal corticosteroids are used to manage certain retinal conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation.
  • To assess the risk of IOP increase in patients with SRNV treated with intravitreal triamcinolone.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 113 patients with angiographically confirmed SRNV.
  • Monitoring of intraocular pressure as a key parameter following intravitreal triamcinolone administration.

Main Results:

  • A significant IOP rise (≥5 mm Hg) was observed in approximately 30% of the study cohort.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The IOP elevation occurred within the first three months post-injection.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intravitreal triamcinolone treatment for SRNV is associated with a notable risk of increased intraocular pressure.
    • Informed consent is crucial, detailing the potential ocular side effects of steroid injections.
