Intravitreal Eye Injection Treatments
Patients are often required to have intravitreal eye injections of anti-VEGF medications in order to treat diabetic macular edema, vein occlusion – either branch or central vein occlusion, or age-related macular degeneration.
There are three products that are used, and it is best that your surgeon determines which one will work best in your case. These drugs are injected in the office setting, with the patient having some topical anaesthesia, a speculum placed in their eye, and the drug placed into their eye by the doctor.
