Alterations in the Intraocular Cytokine Milieu after Intravitreal Bevacizumab

Abstract

Alterations in the intraocular inflammatory cytokine milieu occur after IVB injection, possibly as a compensatory mechanism in response to VEGF inhibition. The increased concentrations of inflammatory cytokines after IVB may be clinically significant and may be responsible for some of the complications after IVB.
