<b>Aim</b>: to study the changes in the level of intraocular pressure (IOP) in the early period after the intravitreal administration of anti-VEGF drugs in patients with classical and occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV).<br>
<b>Patients and Methods:</b> 34 patients (40 eyes) with age-related macular degeneration were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 — the patients (19 eyes) with classic CNV, group 2 — the patients (21 eyes) with occult CNV. In all patients the IOP were measured an hour before the treatment, on the 7-th day after the injection of ranibizumab and at the 1-month follow-up visit.<br>
<b>Results</b>: in group 1 the level of IOP increased an hour after the injection, but on the 7th day it was already at the initial level, which persisted after 1 month (p>0,05). In the second group, the IOP level remained stable throughout the follow-up period <br>
(p <0.05). Differences in the level of IOP in an hour, on the 7th day and 1 month after intravitreal injection in patients of both groups and between groups were not detected (p> 0.05). There was no significant difference in retinal thickness before and after intravitreal injection in both groups (p> 0.05). However, significant difference was noted in patients of both groups in corrected visual acuity before and after treatment (p<0.05).<br>
<b>Conclusions</b>: in patients with a classical choroidal neovascularization, an increase in the IOP level was observed one hour after the intravitreal administration of anti-VEGF drugs. The difference in the IOP-level in patients with age-related macular degeneration in the group with classical CNV and in the group with occult CNV after intravitreal injection of the anti-VEGF was not detected in an hour, on the 7th day and 1 month after the administration of the anti-VEGF preparation.<br>
