Intravitreal triamcinolone will cause posterior subcapsular cataract in most eyes with diabetic maculopathy within 2 years

Abstract

This study demonstrates that given appropriate long-term follow-up, the majority of patients, even after a single IVTA injection, will go on to develop cataract, of which posterior subcapsular will be by far the most common.

Effect of suprachoroidal triamcinolone on intraocular pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“… 12 The incidence of IOP rises greater than 10 mmHg and cataracts have been reported to be as high as 22% and 81%, respectively, after the administration of intravitreal triamcinolone. 27 , 28 Steroid-induced glaucoma has also been reported after the use of intravitreal triamcinolone. 29 This would indicate that the suprachoroidal route is safer than the intravitreal route for triamcinolone administration with regard to the long-term effects on IOP.…”

Therapeutic Effects and Adverse Events of Single Dose of Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection in Macular Edema

“…This may be due to the short duration of follow-up. Islam et al showed that the time to first documentation of significant cataract was 16.2 months, with a range of 3-29 months and the majority were posterior subcapsular in nature [31].…”
