Suprachoroidal Injection of Triamcinolone- Review of a Novel Treatment for Macular Edema Caused by Noninfectious Uveitis.

ABSTRACT: Macular edema is the most frequent cause of visual deterioration in noninfectious uveitis. The treatment of noninfectious uveitis with associated macular edema commonly includes systemic or locally administered corticosteroids, with long-term use limited by significant side effects. The need for a treatment with an improved safety profile has driven the development of a novel ophthalmic therapy: a proprietary triamcinolone acetonide suspension (CLS-TA) administered in the suprachoroidal space (XIPERE^™; Clearside Biomedical, Alpharetta, GA, USA). Suprachoroidal delivery of corticosteroids allows higher steroid concentration in the posterior segment and decreases the risk of other adverse ocular events.
