Popis: Abstract It is important to identify at-risk patients prior to administering steroid injections to prevent avoidable irreversible blindness inducted by steroid-induced ocular hypertension (SIOH). We aimed to investigate the association of SIOH following intravitreal dexamethasone implantation (OZURDEX) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). We conducted a retrospective case control study to assess the association between trabecular meshwork and SIOH. A total of 102 eyes that underwent both AS-OCT and intravitreal dexamethasone implant injection were divided into the post-steroid ocular hypertension and normal intraocular pressure groups. Ocular parameters that can contribute to intraocular pressure were measured using AS-OCT. Univariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio of the SIOH and significant variables were further analyzed using a multivariable model. Trabecular meshwork (TM) height was significantly shorter in the ocular hypertension group (716.13 ± 80.55 μm) than that in the normal intraocular pressure group (784.27 ± 82.33 μm) (p
