Intravitreal Injections

Intravitreal injections are injected into the eye. The inside of the eye is filled with a jelly-like (glass-like) liquid. During this procedure, the doctor injects the drug into the vitreous fluid near the retina behind the eyes. The drug can solve some eye problems and protect your eyesight. This method is often used to administer high doses of the drug to the retina. Intravitreal injections are used to treat a variety of retinal disorders. The most common diseases treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs are age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.
