Risk of Ocular Hypertension in Adults with Noninfectious Uveitis

Abstract: Objective To describe the risk and risk factors for ocular hypertension (OHT) in adults with non-infectious uveitis. Design Retrospective, multicenter, cohort study. Participants Patients aged ≥ 18 years with non-infectious uveitis seen between 1979 and 2007 at 5 tertiary uveitis clinics. Methods Demographic, ocular and treatment data were extracted from medical records of uveitis cases. Main outcome measures Prevalent and incident OHT with intraocular pressures (IOP) of ≥21 mmHg, ≥30mmHg and rise of ≥… Show more

“…25 Chronic inflammation of the trabecular meshwork may lead to scar formation and permanent damage to the underlying tissue. 26 In a recent multicenter study of risk factors of ocular hypertension in noninfectious uveitis, 6 the presence of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) carried a 3-fold risk of developing OHT, whereas in our study only 17% of uveitic glaucoma/OHT cases had some degree of noncontiguous PAS and none had more than 180 degrees of PAS, suggesting that raised IOP might have been due to microstructural damage to the trabecular meshwork. Additionally, extracellular matrix accumulation in the trabecular meshwork or increased continuity of the endothelial basement membrane along the Schlemm canal, coinciding with long-term use of steroids, may play a part in obstruction of trabecular outflow and, subsequently, raised IOP.…”

“…The prevalence of uveitis varies in different parts of the world [1][2][3] ; however, idiopathic recurrent anterior uveitis 4,5 is the most common diagnosis in those affected. One of the most serious sight-threatening sequelae from this condition is uveitic glaucoma, which has a reported incidence of between 5% and 24% [6][7][8] among long-term uveitic eyes. Despite the relatively high prevalence, there have only been a few previous aqueous humor dynamics studies exploring the pathogenesis of uveitic glaucoma in humans.…”

“…2-5 Systemic therapy with corticosteroids is associated with lower risk of ocular complications than local therapy, 1;3;4 but has its own set of potential complications such as corticosteroid-induced diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, reduced bone mineral density, weight gain and others. Such complications occur especially when systemic corticosteroids are used at high doses for long periods of time.…”

“…Statistisch signifikante Risikofaktoren für eine OHT bei Erwachsenen beinhalten eine systemische Hypertonie, eine schlechte Sehschärfe (≤ 20/200), eine vorangegangene Vitrektomie, eine kontralaterale OHT oder augeninnendrucksenkende Medikation, Vorderkammerzellen ≥ 1+, periphere anteriore Synechien, ≥ 7,5 mg systemische Kortikosteroide pro Tag, okuläre Kortikosteroide in den letzten 3 Monaten und vorherige Verwendung von Fluocinolonacetonid-Implantaten. Eine bilaterale Uveitis und/oder frühere okuläre Hypotonie haben ein statistisch signifikant geringeres OHT-Risiko [12].…”
