Ocular Hypertension Following Open Globe Injury in Patients Undergoing Pars Plana Vitrectomy
The incidence of ocular hypertension in our cohort was slightly higher than previously reported at 34.69%. PPV has been independently associated with elevated IOP post-operatively, but the need for PPV surgery can indicate more severe trauma leading to higher rates of increased IOP. Patients who had silicone oil utilized in their PPV had an approximately 5.63-fold increased odds of developing OHT, suggesting that silicone oil use may be a potent predictor of post-PPV OHT.
