Abstract

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate theimpact of 0.7 mg intravitreal dexamethasone implant on intra- ocular pressure in early stage. Methods: Patients who received Ozurdex ® intravitreal dexa- methasone implant (Allergan Inc., Irvine, California, USA) be- tween November 20 13 and April 20 14 were included. Patientswith glaucoma, ocular hypertension and neovascularizationwere excluded. Visual acuity was measured prior to and 3months after inj ection. Intraocular pressure was measured pri- or to inj ection, and 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 monthsafter inj ection. Intraocular pressure was measured using ap- planation tonometry. Patients were evaluated with biomicro- scopic examination and measurement of macular thicknessprior to inj ection, 1 month, and 3 months after inj ection. Fun- dus fluorescein angiography was used as standard procedurein second month. Drug therapy was initiated in patients withintraocular pressure of 22 or more. Results: Impact of intravitreal dexamethasone implant onintraocular pressure of 3 1 eyes of 3 1 patients ( 13 women,18 men) was analyzed. Intraocular pressure averages were16.9±0.33 before inj ection, 18. 16±0.52 1 day after inj ection,18.67±0.46 1 week after inj ection, 18.67±0.54 1 month after in- j ection, 17.5806±0.32 2 months after inj ection, and 17.58±0.363 months after inj ection. Visual acuity before inj ection was0.09±0.0 1 and 0.26±0.02 3 months after inj ection, accordingto Snellen chart. Conclusion: Intraocular pressure of patients with intravitrealdexamethasone implant therapy requires close follow-up. In- crease in pressure was observed in 16% of patients between thefirst week and month, but was easily controlled.

Özet

Amaç: İntravitreal olarak uygulanan 0.7 mg deksametazonimplantının göz içi basıncına erken dönemdeki etkisini incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kasım 2013 ile Nisan 2014 tarihleri arasındaki intravitreal deksametazon implant (Ozurdex®) uyguladığımız hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Glokom, oküler hipertansiyon, açıda neovaskülarizasyonu olan hastalar çalışma dışıbırakıldı. Snellen eşeline göre görme keskinliği enjeksiyonöncesi ve enjeksiyon sonrası 3. ay bakıldı. Göz içi basıncı, enjeksiyon öncesi ve enjeksiyon sonrası 1. hafta, 1. ay, 2. ay ve3. ay ölçüldü. Göz içi basıncı aplanasyon tonometrisi ile ölçüldü. Hastalara biomikroskobik muayene, makuler kalınlıkölçümü; enjeksiyon öncesi, enjeksiyon sonrası 1. ay ve enjeksiyon sonrası 3. ay bakıldı. Fundus floroscein anjiyografiise standart olarak ikinci ayda uygulandı. Göz içi basıncı 22ve üzerine çıkan hastalara ilaca başlandı. Bulgular: Çalışmada 13ü (%41.9) kadın 18i (%51.8) erkekolmak üzere 31 hastanın 31 gözüne uygulanan intravitrealdeksametazon implantının, göz içi basıncı üzerine etkisi incelendi. Enjeksiyon öncesi ortalama göz içi basınç ortalamaları 16.9±0.33, enjeksiyon sonrası göz içi basınç ortalamaları1. gün 18.16±0.52, 1. hafta 18.67±0.46, 1. ay 18.67±0.54, 2.ay 17.5806±0.32 ve 3. ay 17.58±0.36 olarak saptandı. Enjeksiyon öncesi görme keskinliği ortalaması Snellen eşeline göre0.09±0.01 iken enjeksiyon sonrası 3. ay 0.26±0.02 idi. Sonuç: İntravitreal deksametazon implant uygulanan has- taların göz içi basınçları yakın takip gerektirmektedir. Hastaların %16sında göz içi basınçlarında enjeksiyon sonrası 1.hafta ile 1. ay arasında yükselmeler görüldü, medikal tedaviile rahatlıkla kontrol altına alınmıştır.
