Purpose: To study the incidence and risk factors of raised intraocular pressures (IOPs) in the follow-up of transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV).
Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed on 635 patients who underwent TSV under a single surgeon. The IOPs were recorded using a calibrated non-contact tonometer at seven postoperative visits, viz., day 1, 7 and 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 day and 1 month following silicone oil removal.
Results: IOP rise was seen in 24.25% (154) out of the 635 eyes studied. Among patients under 50 years of age, 37.73% had an IOP rise, compared to 21.55% above 50 years (Odds Ratio 2.206). Among males, 30.32% had an IOP rise, as compared to 15.98% females (OR 2.287). In eyes with retinal detachment, 49.16% had raised IOP (OR 5.435), and 24.05% with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (OR 1.780), as opposed to 15.38% with macular hole and 12.32% with epiretinal membrane. This was statistically significant (P < 0.001). In eyes with silicone oil, 34.9% developed a rise in IOP (OR 2.738) as compared to 11.94% of other surgeries (OR 0.697). This was statistically significant (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: We observed an increase in IOP postoperatively, more in those under 50 years, males and patients undergoing surgery for RD and PDR.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a novel approach using a sterile caliper for anterior chamber (AC) decompression in reducing post-intravitreal injection (IVI) intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes.
Methods: A prospective interventional case series conducted at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) with Institutional Review Board approval. Patients were randomized to receive conventional IVI or IVI with sterile caliper decompression.
Variation of Bruch's membrane opening in response to intraocular pressure change during scleral lens wear, in a population with keratoconus.

École d'optométrie, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Purpose: The present study aimed to determine the potential impact of scleral lenses on intraocular pressure (IOP) by analysing the Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) while the lenses are worn, in a population with keratoconus.
Methods: Participants were required to have keratoconus and be successfully fitted with scleral lenses for at least 3 months. A new pair of optimised scleral lenses was provided before the study.
