Brinzolamide-brimonidine Fixed Combination for Preventing IOP Elevation After Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of topical prophylaxis with brinzolamide-brimonidine fixed combination on short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF). Patients scheduled for treatment with intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF will be randomly divided into two groups. In control group no prophylactic medication will be used, whereas in case group one drop of brinzolamide-brimonidine fixed combination will be instilled two hours before the injection. IOP will be measured before the injection, 1 minute after the injection, 10 minutes and 30 minutes post-injection in all eyes. In case group, the pre-injection IOP will be measured prior to the administration of the fixed combination of brinzolamide-brimonidine. The iCare (IC200) tonometer will be used for IOP measurements at all time points.
