We conclude that the device maintains potentially therapeutic levels of both cyclosporine and dexamethasone in the vitreous. Reversible electroretinographic abnormalities are attributable to cyclosporine. A sustained-release device containing cyclosporine and dexamethasone may be useful for reducing inflammation in diseases such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy and uveitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
