The real-world effect of intravitreous anti–vascular endothelial growth factor drugs on intraocular pressure
Ophthalmology Jan 18, 2018
Atchison EA, et al. - Researchers pursued an investigation of the sustained variations in intraocular pressure (IOP) after intravitreous injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs in patients seeing an ophthalmic provider.
