Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty for Intractable Glaucoma Following Intravitreal Triamcinolone

The Effect of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty on Intraocular Pressure in Patients With Intravitreal Steroid-induced Elevated Intraocular Pressure

“…28 A case report in 1 patient suggested that argon laser trabeculoplasty was effective in reducing IOP after intravitreal TA. 29 The rapid reduction in IOP within 3 weeks after SLT laser suggests that the IOP reduction was neither due to a decrease in quantity of intraocular steroid nor to a decrease in the effect of the intraocular steroid on IOP, but rather to the SLT procedure. Two of the 4 patients receiving a second SLT achieved adequate IOP control, suggesting repeat procedures may be necessary and sometimes effective.…”

Characterization and Pharmacokinetics of Triamcinolone Acetonide-Loaded Liposomes Topical Formulations for Vitreoretinal Drug Delivery

“…40,41 However, despite its low cost, the risk of severe potential complications, inherent to intravitreal injection, such as infectious and noninfectious endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, cataract formation, and/or vitreous hemorrhage, 9–11,42 as well as the risk of increased IOP, 43 have limited its use for long periods. In fact, severe 44 and intractable 45,46 IOP elevation represents the major obstacle to steroid use. Besides, the discomfort caused to the patient by the intraocular injection itself, could cause pour adherence to the treatment.…”

Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma after Intravitreal Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide

“…Traditional glaucoma surgical techniques can successfully control elevated IOP and are generally required in less than 2% of cases. The reported treatment methods for secondary ocular hypertension after IVTA were argon laser trabeculoplasty, selective laser trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, cyclodestructive procedures, drainage devices, and pars plana vitrectomy (Agrawal et al,2004;Kocabora et al, 2008;Razeghinejad and Katz, 2012;Rubin et al, 2008;Viola et al, 2006. ).…”
