Long-term outcomes after intravitreal dexamethasone treatment in steroid responders

Aims Intravitreal steroid implants have emerged as an adjunctive therapy in diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. However, the use of these agents in patients with a prior history of steroid-induced ocular hypertension is limited. The present study aimed to analyze long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) response to the dexamethasone implant in patients with DME and a history of steroid-induced increase in IOP.
