Ambulatory vision and retinal reattachment were achieved in 40% and 70% of cases, respectively. Keratopathy (50%), hypotony (40%), and macular pucker (30%) were the most common complications.

Eyes with minimal hemorrhage from the aneurysm often showed an extensive exudative change that extended to the fovea.

It has been associated with adverse events such as corneal deposits and uveitis. With this animal model we confirm a suspected negative influence on retinal function, detected by electroretinography.

However, repeated injection of the drug caused significant differences in the visual evoked potentials, and in two of the three studied rabbits, a localized histologic evidence of toxicity was observed. These results indicate against the use of this inexpensive, commercially available preparation of ketorolac for intravitreal treatment of ocular inflammatory conditions.Page: 98DOI: 10.1097/IAE.0b013e31817d8c09Authors: KOMAROWSKA, IZABELA PhD *; HEILWEIL, GAD MD +; ROSENFELD, PHILIP J.
