ABSTRACT
Purpose: To assess the short term and long term fluctuations in IOP variations after intravitreal injection of anti- VEGF (Bevacizumab). Design: A prospective hospital based clinical study. Method: 100 patients were screened and 65 patients were selected with indication of intravitreal anti-VEGF for the study. Baseline IOP was measured before injection, half hour after injection and at various follow up visits at 1 week, 3 week, 3 months and 6 months using applanation tonometer. IOP at 6 months was compared to baseline and to the number of injections received. Results: At 30 min, out of 65 patients, 59 had normalised IOP (21mmHg, p value
