Prospective, tricentric study conducted in patients treated with unilateral IVTI. An asepsis protocol with povidone-iodine was used for all patients during IVTI. The primary endpoint was the difference between the pre-IVTI Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI 1) score and that measured on day one (D1) post-IVTI (OSDI 2). Secondary endpoints were the evaluation of predictive factors for OSDI scores, pain assessment on D1, and the Lacrydiag® analysis of tears from the injected eye versus contralateral eye before IVTI. Two hundred and nineteen patients with a mean age of 75.9±10years were included. The mean OSDI2-OSDI1 difference was 19.2±20.6 (p<0.001). The mean noninvasive tear break-up time was 6.41±4.59seconds in the injected eye versus 7.36±4.36seconds in the contralateral eye (p<0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the factors significantly associated with the OSDI 2 score were the OSDI 1 score (p<0.001), the pain score on D1 (p<0.001) the number of instilled glaucoma eye drop (p=0.01) and a centre effect (centres 2 and 3 versus centre 1, p<0.001). Our results confirm the impairment of the ocular surface and quality of life immediately after an IVTI. These results suggest 3 levels of action to improve the immediate tolerance improving the basal status of the ocular surface, reducing the contact time with povidone-iodine that might be toxic to the surface, and improving immediate post-IVTI treatment.
