Intraocular Pressure after Vitreoretinal Surgery

Abstract

Vitreoretinal surgery can lead to elevated intraocular pressure. Causes are multifactorial including both mechanical and pharmacological mechanisms. Therapy initially consists of topical therapy with pressure-lowering eye drops. In case of inadequate response, surgical interventions are indicated.

Key words

IOP - retina - glaucoma - vitreoretinal surgery - intravitreal injection - IVI - secondary glaucoma
