Several complications after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) treatment have been described including tears of the retinal pigment epithelium and tractional retinal detachment. The etiology of these complications remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize changes in the intraocular levels of inflammatory cytokines after IVB as a possible explanation for these complications.
