The “2018 Update on Intravitreal Injections: Euretina Expert Consensus Recommendations” (DOI: 10.1159/000486145) highlights the importance of IOP management with intravitreal injections:

“In most cases, the IOP elevations are either transient or easy to control by topical treatments. However, both short- and long-term IOP elevations are undesirable, especially in patients with prior glaucomatous damage. Therefore, the injecting ophthalmologist should always be aware of pre-existing ocular hypertension or glaucoma, and monitor IOP carefully.”
