Steroid-induced glaucoma is a form of open-angle glaucoma occurring as an adverse effect of corticosteroid therapy.1 It is usually associated with topical steroid use, but it may develop with oral, intravenous, inhaled, or periocular steroid administration by causing decrease in aqueous outflow facility. A number of drugs have been implicated in corticosteroid-induced glaucoma including dexamet...
متن کاملSteroid-Induced Iatrogenic Glaucoma
Steroids in susceptible individuals can cause a clinical condition similar to primary open-angle glaucoma. Five percent of the population are high steroid responders and develop an intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation of more than 15 mm Hg above baseline. IOP elevation may occur as early as 1 day to as late as 12 weeks after intravitreal triamcinolone in 20–65% of patients. On average, 75% of e...
