💉 What is an Intravitreal Injection?

An Intravitreal Injection is a safe and effective method of delivering medication directly into the vitreous cavity (the gel-like center of the eye) to treat sight-threatening retinal conditions.

It is commonly used to treat:

• Diabetic Retinopathy

• Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

• Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)

• Infectious or Inflammatory Eye Conditions

🧪 Medications Commonly Injected:

• Anti-VEGF agents: Avastin, Lucentis, Eylea – block abnormal blood vessel growth

• Steroids: Ozurdex or Triamcinolone – reduce retinal swelling

• Antibiotics/Antivirals: In case of infections (e.g., endophthalmitis)

🏥 Procedure Steps

✅ 1. Pre-Injection Preparation

• Detailed retina evaluation (OCT, Fundus Fluorescein Angiography if needed)

• Informed consent and counseling

• Vision and intraocular pressure measurement

• Pupil dilation and application of anesthetic eye drops

✅ 2. Injection Procedure

• Performed in a sterile operation room or procedure room

• Eyelids and surrounding area are cleaned with antiseptic

• A speculum is used to keep the eye open

• Injection is given painlessly through the white part of the eye (sclera)

• Duration: Only a few minutes

✅ 3. Aftercare

• Antibiotic drops are prescribed for a few days

• Mild irritation or redness may occur briefly

• Avoid touching or rubbing the eye

• Follow-up in a few days to monitor response and side effects
