A short-term increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) is a common side effect after intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy, but a sustained increase in IOP with the development of secondary glaucoma has also been reported in some studies after repeated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. The aim of this review is to present and discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms and factors contributing to a sustained rise in IOP, as well as treatment strategies for patients at risk. Close monitoring and adjustable IOP-lowering treatment are recommended for high-risk patients, including those with glaucoma, angle-closure anomalies, ocular hypertension or family history of glaucoma; patients receiving a high number of injections or at shorter intervals; and patients with capsulotomy. Strategies are needed to identify patients at risk in a timely manner and to prevent sustained elevation of IOP.
玻璃体内注射抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)治疗后,眼内压(IOP)短期升高是常见的副作用,但一些研究也报道,在反复玻璃体内注射抗VEGF后,会继发青光眼并导致IOP持续升高。本综述旨在介绍并讨论导致IOP持续升高的可能病理生理机制和因素,以及针对高危患者的治疗策略。建议对高危患者进行密切监测并采取可调整的降眼压治疗,这些患者包括青光眼患者、房角关闭异常患者、高眼压症患者或有青光眼家族史的患者;接受大量注射或注射间隔较短的患者;以及接受晶状体囊切开术的患者。需要采取策略以及时识别高危患者并预防IOP持续升高。
