Journal, Monotherapy: Efficacy of the Fluocinolone Acetonide (Yutiq) Intravitreal Implant as Monotherapy for Uveitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2022 The fluocinolone acetonide implant may not suffice as monotherapy for all patients with uveitis, but it may be effective as an adjunctive treatment. We propose a clinical workflow for the selection and treatment of patients who may benefit from it.

Review, Journal, Real-world evidence: Real-World Experience with Intracapsular Administration of Dexamethasone Intraocular Suspension 9% for Control of Postoperative Inflammation. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 28, 2022 DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% is the first and only intraocular corticosteroid FDA-approved for postoperative inflammation, whose sustained-release formulation provides a high initial release of drug, followed by a gradual tapering...This technique also minimizes contact with metabolically active tissues such as the corneal endothelium, iris, and ciliary body. In this paper, we review the available literature on dexamethasone intraocular suspension and summarize surgeons' consensus on best practices for intracapsular administration.

Anterior Chamber Versus Intravitreal Administration of Dexamethasone 9% Suspension in Cataract Patients with and without Glaucoma (WEWCC - Level 1, 143C) - Apr 26, 2022 - Abstract #ASCRSASOA2022ASCRS-ASOA_1480; MethodsRetrospective data were collected from patients who received dexamethasone 9% suspension (DEXYCU®; EyePoint Pharmaceuticals) either via anterior chamber administration (on-label) or intravitreal injection (off-label) after cataract surgery, with/without minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)...All patients were given intracameral moxifloxacin at the time of surgery...1 patient in the IVD required rescue medications compared to 8 patients in the ACD group (p<0.01). Conclusion Administration of IVD or ACD does not impede the intraocular pressure reduction produced by cataract surgery combined with MIGS.

Retrospective data, Journal: Effect of Extended Release Steroid Implants on the Contralateral Eye. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 30, 2022 With the current relentless pace of ophthalmic drug delivery research, the pursuit of a new standard of treatment that eliminates the problems of low bioavailability and patient compliance may soon be realised. In this study there was no statistically significant effect on CME of contralateral intravitreal corticosteroid implants.

Clinical, Journal: Iris Atrophy After Administration of Intracameral Dexycu in Routine Cataract Surgery: A Case Series. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 19, 2022 None of the five eyes treated with traditional anti-inflammatory drops developed iris atrophy. The Dexycu intraocular dexamethasone implant was designed to mitigate postoperative inflammation and reduce need for topical therapy but may be associated with other potential adverse effects that warrant consideration.

Review, Journal: The Use of Sustained Release Intravitreal Steroid Implants in Non-Infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2022 In particular, they have provided an alternative mode of treatment for patients who do not wish to be systemically immunosuppressed, or in whom such immunosuppression is less desirable, such as those with unilateral disease or those with concurrent illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, renal disease or osteoporosis that are negatively impacted by systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents. In this article, we review the evidence for the use of the major licensed corticosteroid implants and assess the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Utilization and Cost-Analysis of Novel Dropless Steroid Alternatives for Cataract Surgery Among Medicare Beneficiaries (Morial Convention Center) - Oct 20, 2021 - Abstract #AAO2021AAO_1659; Conclusion Dropless dexamethasone delivery technologies address patient inconvenience and poor compliance but entail disproportionately high costs compared to traditional steroid drops. This may explain the low adoption rates of these new drug delivery technologies, despite their pass-through status.
