Management of ocular hypertension following intravitreal dexamethasone implant (ozurdex).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of intravitreal dexamethasone implantation (Ozurdex) on ocular hypertension (OHT) development and characterize its management with non-invasive or minimally-invasive modalities.

Results

Chart review was performed for patients who received Ozurdex implantation between September 2016 to September 2023. Patients were excluded if they had ever been diagnosed with neovascular glaucoma or received a different intravitreal corticosteroid prior to Ozurdex injection or 6 months afterwards. The analysis included 171 Ozurdex implants (n = 61 patients, n = 74 eyes) for analysis. Patients were followed for an average of 326 ± 45 days. The rise in IOP was greatest 2- and 3-months post-injection. OHT occurred following 40 (23.3 %) Ozurdex implants. To lower I
