Intravitreal injections: what are they and how are they given?

Intravitreal injections are used to treat retinal vascular conditions such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic maculopathy, and macular oedema (fluid) associated with a retinal vein occlusion. They are injected into the back of the eye in order to stop/limit leakage from retinal blood vessels and develop due to increased vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF and/or intraocular inflammation. Dr Gabriella De Salvo explains everything you need to know about the injections, including how they are administered and any potential risks associated with them.

Frequently asked questions about intraocular lenses

There are two different types of intraocular lenses which are available. The first type available are phakic lenses. They can be placed in the eye without having to take the eye’s natural lens out and are made of plastic or silicone. The second type of lenses available are pseudophakic lenses. These are placed after the natural eye lens is removed. They can be implemented during cataract surgery. Intraocular lenses are usually made from flexible and foldable material and are about the same size as the original lens. The lenses implanted are usually monofocal intraocular lenses. However, it is also possible for multifocal intraocular lenses or toric intraocular lenses to be implanted.
