Steroid-induced ocular hypertension in the pediatric age group.
Comparing the effects of topical Rimexolone versus Dexamethasone and Rimexolone versus Fluorometholone on the intraocular pressure in children <13 years.. A total of 40 patients (80 eyes) undergoing bilateral recession strabismus surgery were divided into two groups. Group A included 20 children (40 eyes); for each, one eye was randomized to receive 1% Rimexolone and the fellow eye received 0.1% Dexamethasone. Group B included 20 children (40 eyes); for each, one eye was randomized to receive 1% Rimexolone and the fellow eye received 0.1% Fluorometholone. Patients received eye drops for two consecutive weeks. Preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure values for weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 were measured. The ocular-hypertensive response of all patients was categorized as either high, intermediate or low (Armaly-Becker Classification).. After a 2-week treatment for both groups, peak and maximal intraocular pressure changes were reached. Changes were significantly higher in the Dexamethasone-treated eyes than in the Rimexolone- and Fluorometholone-treated eyes, which had a comparable change. (Week 2 intraocular pressure Group A: 14.15 ± 3.23 mmHg vs 17.95 ± 4.27 mmHg; Group B: 15.1 ± 2.27 mmHg vs 15.2 ± 2.73 mmHg). In both groups, the increase was statistically significant compared to the baseline intraocular pressure (preoperative intraocular pressure Group A: 13.2 ± 3.53 mmHg vs 13.1 ± 3.43 mmHg; Group B: 12.55 ± 2.98 mmHg vs 12.15 ± 3.31 mmHg). Intraocular pressure returned to near preoperative values over the following four consecutive weeks (Week 6 intraocular pressure Group A: 12.25 ± 2.67 mmHg vs 12.55 ± 2.95 mmHg; Group B: 12.15 ± 2.8 mmHg vs 12.00 ± 2.75 mmHg). None of the patients were high responders.. Dexamethasone caused a higher elevation in intraocular pressure than Rimexolone and Fluorometholone in children. The ocular-hypertensive response was transient after the 2-week course.

Ocular-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory response to rimexolone therapy in children.
To compare the ocular-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory response to rimexolone (116-hydroxy-16alphafluoro-6alphamethylpresdnisolone) and fluorometholone (21-deoxy-9alphafluoro-6alphamethylprednisolone) therapy in children's eyes.. With parental consent, children who underwent surgical procedures for bilateral symmetric strabismus from January 18, 2000, through November 16, 2001, were recruited. One eye was randomized to receive topical 1% rimexolone while the contralateral eye received topical 0.1% fluorometholone, 4 times daily for 4 weeks.. Intraocular pressures and anti-inflammatory responses were the main outcome measures and were serially measured postoperatively for 8 weeks.. Fifty-four children, aged from 4 to 8 years (mean [SD] age, 5.33 [1.26] years), participated in the study. Intraocular pressure increased significantly in both treatment groups compared with the preoperative values (P<.001). The mean (SD) peak intraocular pressure was significantly higher in the rimexolone-treated group, 19.7 (6.1) vs 17.6 (4.6) mm Hg (P<.001). Similarly, the mean (SD) net increase in intraocular pressure (P<.001), was also higher in the rimexolone-treated eyes, 5.9 (4.4) vs 3.9 (4.1) mm Hg (P<.001). In addition, a greater percentage of the rimexolone-treated patients had no conjunctival erythema on days 13 (11.1% vs 0.0%) and 20 (88.9% vs 55.6%) (P =.03).. Rimexolone seems to be a more effective anti-inflammatory agent than fluorometholone. However, unlike adults, the ocular-hypertensive effect in children treated with rimexolone was higher. It would be desirable to monitor the intraocular pressure regularly when rimexolone therapy is used in children.

Intraocular pressure-raising potential of 1.0% rimexolone in patients responding to corticosteroids.
To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) elevating potential of 1.0% rimexolone and 0.1% fluorometholone alcohol ophthalmic suspensions in patients known to have responded to corticosteroids.. In a double-masked, randomized, single-eye, crossover protocol, corticosteroid responsiveness initially was verified in 40 asymptomatic known steroid responders by challenge with either 0.1% dexamethasone sodium phosphate or 1.0% prednisolone acetate for up to 6 weeks. After a 1-month medication washout, subjects randomly received either rimexolone or fluorometholone for 6 weeks. Medications were again discontinued for 1 month, and subjects then received the alternate drug for 6 weeks.. There was no significant difference between rimexolone and fluorometholone in the number of subjects demonstrating a 10-mm Hg increase in IOP or in the mean number of weeks required to achieve a 10-mm Hg response. Responses occurred in significantly more subjects receiving dexamethasone sodium phosphate (P = .001) or prednisolone acetate (P < .001) and in a significantly shorter interval than in subjects receiving rimexolone.. Rimexolone has a low IOP-elevating potential, comparable to that of fluorometholone and less than that of dexamethasone sodium phosphate and prednisolone acetate.

A rabbit model of age-dependant ocular hypertensive response to topical corticosteroids.
To investigate the ocular hypertensive response to topical dexamethasone (DEX), rimexolone (RIM), loteprednol etabonate (LOT) and fluorometholone (FML) in rabbits of different ages.. Seventy-five rabbits of three age groups (7 weeks, 6 months and 1-year old) received topical administration of 0.1% DEX, 1% RIM, 0.5% LOT, 0.1% FML or balanced salt solution four times daily for 1 month. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was monitored at regular time intervals. After a month, eyes were harvested for histological study with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), periodic acid Schiff and Masson trichrome staining. Trabecular meshwork changes were graded by masked ocular pathologists.. Topical DEX caused the greatest increase in IOP, followed by RIM and FML. LOT caused the least IOP increase. Similar pattern of IOP response to the four corticosteroids was observed in the three studied age groups. Young rabbits (7 week) were the most responsive to corticosteroids among the age groups. Extracellular matrix thickening in the trabecular meshwork region and loss of trabecular meshwork cells were observed after DEX, FML or RIM treatments.. Young rabbits are more susceptible to steroid induced increase in IOP, even for milder steroids such as fluorometholone and rimexolone.

Pharmacological validation of a feline model of steroid-induced ocular hypertension.
To validate pharmacologically the feline model of steroid-induced ocular hypertension.. Serial studies were conducted in domesticated adult female cats trained to accept topical ocular drug administration and pneumotonometry. To establish intraocular pressure (IOP) values for each study, measurements were performed at the same time of day for 6 consecutive days. Beginning on day 7, cats received either steroid or vehicle administered topically to both eyes three times a day for approximately 28 days. The IOP measurements were performed daily.. After 5 to 7 days of treatment with 0.1% dexamethasone or 1.0% prednisolone acetate, IOP began to increase, reaching peak values within 2 weeks. These values were sustained throughout dosing but declined rapidly to baseline upon cessation of treatment. Maximum IOPs for the dexamethasone- and prednisolone-treated groups averaged 4.5 +/- 0.3 mm Hg (n = 12) greater than the mean IOP value obtained in vehicle-treated cats. Cats treated with 0.25% fluorometholone, 1.0% loteprednol etabonate, and 1.0% rimexolone exhibited increases of 0.6, 1.2, and 1.7 mm Hg, respectively. These values were significantly lower than those observed following treatment with dexamethasone or prednisolone.. The ocular hypertensive effects of selected anti-inflammatory topical ocular steroids in this model are consistent with clinical findings.. This feline model is a useful tool for assessing the potential IOP liability of novel anti-inflammatory steroids.
