Aqueous Flare and Intraocular Pressure in the Early Period Following Panretinal Photocoagulation in Patient with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

An increase in aqueous flare and IOP values was observed after PRP. Besides, the increase in both values starts even in the 1 h, and the values at 1 h are the highest values. At the 24 h, while IOP values return to baseline, aqueous flare values are still high. In patients who may develop severe intraocular inflammation or cannot tolerate increased IOP (such as previous uveitis, neovascular glaucoma, or severe glaucoma), control should be performed at the 1 h after PRP to prevent irreversible complications. Furthermore, the progression that may develop in diabetic retinopathy due to increased inflammation should also be kept in mind.
