Intravitreal Injection: A Revolutionary Treatment for Retinal Diseases
Intravitreal injection is a cutting-edge procedure widely used to treat a variety of retinal conditions and restore vision effectively. This minimally invasive eye injection therapy has become a reliable solution for managing diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. We specialize in delivering safe and effective intravitreal injection treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
What is an Intravitreal Injection?
An intravitreal injection involves administering medication directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye—the gel-like substance located at the back of the eyeball. This targeted approach ensures that the medication reaches the retina, offering faster and more effective results compared to oral or systemic treatments.
Intravitreal Injection Procedure
The intravitreal injection procedure is quick; usually treatment takes only 30 seconds, and it is performed under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection. Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: The eye is numbed using anesthetic eye drops to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Sterilization: The surrounding area is thoroughly cleaned to maintain sterility.
- Injection: Using a fine needle, the medication is injected into the vitreous cavity.
- Post-Procedure Care: Antibiotic drops may be prescribed to prevent infection, and you may be advised to avoid strenuous activities for a day or two.
