Intravitreal Injections

Intravitreal injections are a specialised treatment for various retinal conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.

This procedure involves delivering medication directly into the vitreous humor of the eye, the gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina. By administering drugs such as anti-VEGF agents, corticosteroids, or antibiotics, intravitreal injections target specific areas of the retina to reduce inflammation, inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth, and manage other pathologies that can lead to vision loss. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually performed in an ophthalmologist's office with a quick recovery time. Regular intravitreal injections can be crucial for maintaining or improving vision and managing chronic retinal conditions effectively.
