PURPOSE: To report a case of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) after intravitreal injection in a patient with a history of fellow-eye NAION.
METHODS: Observational case report.
RESULTS: An 82-year-old woman with a history of fellow eye NAION developed an inferior visual field defect 1 day after an intravitreal aflibercept injection for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. She was found to have optic disk edema and an inferior altitudinal defect, consistent with NAION. The mechanism may have involved compromised perfusion to the optic nerve head related to elevated intraocular pressure or vasoconstriction because of antivascular endothelial growth factor activity.
CONCLUSION: Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is a rare complication of intravitreal injection and may be related to postinjection elevation in intraocular pressure. Monitoring of intraocular pressure postinjection with low-threshold for preinjection aqueous suppression or postinjection anterior chamber paracentesis for persistently elevated intraocular pressure is recommended in patients with a history of NAION.
