Reinjection with dexamethasone implant in patients who met retreatment criteria for macular edema owing to BRVO can occur IOP increases and cataract formation. Intraocular pressure rise is greatest 2 months after intravitreal dexamethasone implant and surgical management of IOP was rarely required. Herein, a case who could not be medically controlled and so was undergone to glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy with mitomycin C) after retreatment intravitreal dexamethasone implant administration due to branch retinal vein occlusions was presented.
