To report the two-year incidence of raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucomatous optic nerve damage in patients with uveitis randomized to either fluocinolone acetonide (FA) implants or systemic therapy. Secondarily, to explore patient and eye characteristics associated with IOP elevation or nerve damage. A randomized, partially masked trial in which patients were randomized to either FA implants or systemic therapy. Patients age 13 years or older with non-infectious intermediate, posterior or panuveitis active within the prior 60 days for which systemic corticosteroids were indicated were eligible. Visual fields were obtained at baseline and every 12 months using the Humphrey 24-2 SITA-fast protocol. Stereoscopic optic nerve photos were taken at baseline and at 3, 6, 12 and 24-month follow-up visits. IOP was measured by masked examiners at every study visit. Glaucoma was diagnosed based on an increase in optic nerve cup-to-disc ratio with visual field worsening or increased cup-to-disc ratio alone, when visual fields were not available for cases where visual field change was not evaluable, due to missing data or severe visual field loss at baseline. Most patients were treated as assigned, among those evaluated for glaucoma 97% and 10% of patients assigned to implant and systemic treatment, respectively, received implants. More patients (65%) assigned to implants experienced an IOP elevation of at least 10 mmHg versus 24% assigned to systemic treatment (P<0.001). Similarly, 69% of patients assigned to the implant required IOP lowering therapy versus 26% in the systemic group (P<0.001). Glaucomatous optic nerve damage developed in 23% versus 6% (P<0.001) of implant and systemic patients, respectively. In addition to treatment assignment, black race, use of IOP-lowering medications and uveitis activity at baseline were associated with incident glaucoma (P < 0.05). Implant-assigned eyes had about a four-fold risk of developing IOP elevation ≥ 10 mmHg and of incident glaucomatous optic neuropathy over the first two years compared to those assigned to systemic therapy. Central visual acuity was unaffected. Aggressive IOP monitoring with early treatment (often including early filtration surgery) are needed to avoid glaucoma when vision-threatening inflammation requires implant therapy.
