Elevated intraocular pressure following vitreoretinal surgery

Anastasios P Costarides et al. Ophthalmol Clin North Am. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

Elevated intraocular pressure is a common occurrence following vitreoretinal surgery. The use of silicone oil or intravitreal gas in conjunction with pars plana vitrectomy increases the likelihood of postoperative intraocular pressure elevation. Fortunately, the pressure elevation is usually transient and managed medically. In certain instances, surgical intervention is warranted. Therapeutic intervention should be tailored to the individual patient based on the mechanism of pressure elevation.
