Abstract
To investigate the early effects of two intravitreal (IV) anti vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-VEGF), bevacizumab and ranibizumab, on intraocular pressure (IOP) and central corneal thickness (CCT) within the first post-injection month. This prospective study comprised 109 eyes of 109 adult cases who had IV bevacizumab or ranibizumab injections because of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), retinal venous occlusion (RVO), diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema or central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). None of the cases had medical histories of any kinds of glaucoma or increased IOP and IV injection before and all of them underwent a detailed ocular examination including measurements of IOP by non-contact tonometer and CCT by ultrasonic pachymeter pre-injection. IOP measurements were repeated at 30 min and 1st, 7th, and 30th day after the injection. CCT measurements were repeated at the 7th and 30th post-injection day. Paired sample t tests were used for the statistical analysis in order to evaluate the significance of changes in IOP and CCT. The mean age of 56 male and 53 female cases was 63.58 ± 11.04 years. Fifty-six cases (51.4 %) had diabetic retinopathy, 33 cases (30.3 %) had ARMD, 11 cases (10.1 %) ...Continue Reading
