متن کاملEffect of prophylactic intraocular pressure-lowering medication on intraocular pressure spikes after intravitreal injections.
OBJECTIVE To determine if prophylactic use of intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medication is effective in reducing the IOP spikes after intravitreal injections of pegaptanib, bevacizumab, and ranibizumab. METHODS Seventy-one patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration received intravitreal injections of 1 of 3 anti-vascular endothelial growth factor medications: 30 patients re...
