Results of Suprachoroidal Steroids Injections in Two Chorioretinal Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Suprachoroidal injection is a safe way for intraocular drug delivery. It was used to treat various retinal conditions.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 2/Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injection is used to treat various retinal diseases, higher concentration of the injected material is found when the suprachoroidal space is used as an intraocular delivery pathway when compared to the conventional intravitreal pathway.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Central macular thickness [Baseline and 12 months after injection.]
Changes in central macular thickness (CMT) measured in millimeters (mm) by optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Best corrected visual acuity [Baseline and 12 months after injection.]
Changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured in logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) by chart projector.
Other Outcome Measures
- Intraocular pressure [Baseline and 12 months after injection.]
Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) measured in millimeter mercury (mmHg) by applanation tonometry.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients diagnosed as central serous chorioretinopathy and patients with cystoid macular edema due to irvine-gass syndrome after cataract surgery.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
other retinal diseases that may affect CMT and final visual outcome.
-
Patients with dense corneal opacity.
