Central retinal thickness improves with Iluvien implant in previously treated eyes
BOSTON — Central retinal thickness values improved after exposure to fluocinolone acetonide implant in eyes previously treated for diabetic macular edema, according to a study. However, steroid-induced ocular hypertension can occur despite a negative steroid challenge at baseline, with the baseline use of topical glaucoma therapy potentially confounding assessment of the steroid response, Sumit P. Shah, MD, FACS, said in a paper presentation at the American Society of Retina Specialists meeting.
