A retrospective study reporting the incidence, risk factors, and intraocular pressure rise in patients receiving intravitreal steroids for retinal inflammatory diseases in a tertiary eye care hospital of South India

We found that the incidence of SI-OHT was higher in IVTA group as compared to DEX group. No dose-dependent incidence was observed in the case of IVTA group. Age, gender, number of injections, and myopia were not associated with the risk of SI-OHT. Renal disease showed a significant association with the risk of SI-OHT in the DEX group, and patients with TB, stroke, and other drug allergies experienced a fivefold greater increase in IOP values in those groups.
