Abstract

Steroid-induced ocular hypertension (SIOH), which cannot be regulated by topical antiglaucoma agents, is a rare complication after intravitreal implantation of diverse cortisone derivatives. This case report presents a therapeutic approach for treatment-refractory SIOH after intravitreal implantation of fluocinolone acetonide using various minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) techniques.

Keywords: Glaucoma; MIGS; Ocular hypertension; Xen gel stent; iStent inject.
