Sustained Increased Intraocular Pressure Related to Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy for Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

Serial injections of anti-VEGF agents may lead to persistent IOP elevations that require glaucoma therapy. The clinician should recognize this phenomenon, as it can occur even if the patient has tolerated multiple prior injections without IOP elevation. Further exploration of the relationship between anti-VEGF therapy and IOP is needed.
