Intravitreal Injection

An intravitreal injection is a procedure performed at Desai Eye Hospital to deliver medication directly into the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance inside the eye. This treatment is commonly used to manage retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and diabetic macular edema. The medication, which may include anti-VEGF drugs, corticosteroids, or antibiotics, helps to reduce swelling, prevent abnormal blood vessel growth, or treat infections, thereby preserving vision and improving eye health.
During the procedure, the ophthalmologist numbs the eye with local anesthetic drops to minimize discomfort. A tiny needle is then used to inject the medication into the vitreous. The procedure is quick, typically lasting only a few minutes, and is performed in a sterile environment to prevent infection. Patients may experience temporary mild discomfort or blurred vision following the injection, but these side effects generally subside quickly. At Desai Eye Hospital, our experienced specialists ensure a high level of care throughout the treatment process and provide follow-up care to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and manage any potential side effects.
