Abstract
Intravitreal injections are associated with a low incidence of serious adverse events. The most common ocular complication was subconjunctival hemorrhage. There was one case of serious complication--the culture-proven infectious endophthalmitis after Kenalog injection. Cataract formation and increas...

Abstract
Although it is widely accepted that the Pascal dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) reading is higher than Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in normal range of intraocular pressure (IOP), it remains unclear whether DCT reading is higher or lower than GAT in an eye with severely elevated IOP. This stud...

Abnormal distending responses may be increased when IOP elevations are higher and/or longer and/or more frequent. The results suggest that a...
