UNITED KINGDOM DATABASE STUDY OF INTRAVITREAL DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT (OZURDEX) FOR MACULAR EDEMA RELATED TO RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION

The visual results of IDI in eyes with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion in the real world are comparable to those of clinical trial setting. Increased IOP in eyes with preexisting ocular hypertension or glaucoma can be controlled with additional medical treatment. Intraocular pressure rise with IDI may be more frequent in phakic than in pseudophakic eyes.
