Popis: To characterize how prior incisional glaucoma surgery affects the intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation immediately following intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (IVI). Single institution, experimental study. Patients with a history of incisional glaucoma surgery who were receiving anti-VEGF injections were recruited as well as control eyes. Pre- and post-injection IOP measurements were compared as well as time to recovery to within 5 and 10 mmHg of baseline IOP. Ten eyes with a history of glaucoma surgery and 29 control eyes receiving anti-VEGF injections were included. The most common indication for intravitreal anti-VEGF injection was proliferative diabetic retinopathy in both surgical and control eyes (50% vs 45%, p = 1.00). Post-injection IOP was significantly decreased compared to baseline IOP after anti-VEGF injection in surgical versus control eyes (26.5 ± 8.9 mmHg vs 44.2 ± 8.5 mmHg, respectively, p
