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

ABSTRACT:

Background

Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid with multiple ocular uses. Like other corticosteroids, it too is associated with ocular side effects such as increased intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma and cataracts. Suprachoroidal administration of triamcinolone is hoped to reduce the ocular side effects of the drug, especially rises in IOP. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aims to study this phenomenon.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of suprachoroidal triamcinolone injections on IOP.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

We utilized the Medline, Scopus and Cochrane databases for this review. Studies published till June 2023, which fulfilled the eligibility criteria, were included. Studie
