Abstract
⺠Changes in intraocular cytokines after an injection of anti-VEGF in DR were evaluated. ⺠VEGF was decreased at day 1 and the decrease sustained through day 7. ⺠IL-6 showed a sharp increase at day 1 and decreased at day 7. ⺠TGF-β2 showed higher levels at day 7 compared to day 1. ⺠Anti-VEGF aggravates intraocular inflammation and IL-6 may mediate this effect.
