dc.description.abstractPURPOSE: The objective of the study was to examine the effect of dorzolamide-timolol (DT) eye drop used before intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injection on intraocular pressure (IOP) change.METHODS: 50 eyes of 50 patients who received DT eye drops 1 h before IVR injection due to diabetic retinopathy and macular edema were considered Group 1, and 50 eyes of 50 patients who did not receive DT eye drops were considered Group 2. Those patients who had previously undergone intravitreal injection had intraocular surgery, and used any eye drops were not included in the study. Before the injection, IOP values were measured with a Tonopen contact handheld tonometer before the blepharostat was placed (BIOP), after the blepharostat was placed (AIOP), and at the 1st min after the injection (IIOP).RESULTS: There were 25 males and 25 females in Group 1 and 25 males and 25 females in Group 2; the mean age was 65.66 +/- 9.94 years in Group 1 and 65.54 +/- 7.43 years in Group 2 (P = 0.98). In Group 1, BIOP was 18.91 +/- 18.91, AIOP was 21.62 +/- 6.16 mmHg, and IIOP was 49.21 +/- 10.95 mmHg. In Group 2, BIOP was 20.18 +/- 4.19 mmHg, AIOP was 24.60 +/- 4.90 mmHg, and IIOP was 49.96 +/- 9.72 mmHg. IIOP-BIOP difference was 30.30 +/- 9.85 mmHg in Group 1 and 29.78 +/- 9.33 mmHg in Group 2 and the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.78). In Group 1, the IIOP-AIOP difference was 27.58 +/- 10.60 mmHg and in Group 2, 25.36 +/- 10.46 mmHg. The difference between IIOP and AIOP was not statistically significant (P = 0.27).CONCLUSION: The use of topical DT eye drops before IVR injection does not affect the intraocular pressure change.en_US
