First postoperative day review in eyes undergoing pars plana vitrectomy, encirclement and endotamponade to check intraocular pressure: Is it necessary?

A significant minority of patients had elevation of IOP above 30 mmHg, a number of whom required treatment changes to address this. No preoperative risk factors were identified indicating those at risk of high IOP. It is important to identify these potentially harmful IOP elevations, and therefore day-one review is imperative and should be continued.
