  • Title: Persistent triamcinolone acetonide particles on the posterior lens capsule after intravitreal injection.
    Author: Sakalar YB, Unlu K, Keklikci U, Caca I, Senol BB.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie); 2008; 40(3-4):190-2. PubMed ID: 19230363.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case in which triamcinolone acetonide particles gathered on posterior lens capsule after injection of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide is useful in the treatment of macular edema; however, accumulation of triamcinolone acetonide particles on the posterior lens capsule may decrease visual acuity and requires surgical treatment.
