Drug reflux during posterior subtenon infusion of triamcinolone acetonide in diffuse diabetic macular edema not only brings insufficient reduction but also causes elevation of intraocular pressure

摘要

Background At the time of posterior subtenon infusion of triamcinolone acetonide (STI-TA) in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), drug reflux of TA has sometimes been observed from the conjunctival incision site. We investigated the influence of this reflux on regression of DME and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP).
