Specialists in Intravitreal Injection

Intravitreal injection represents one of the most important advances in retinal disease treatment in recent decades. This minimally invasive procedure involves administering medications directly into the eye, allowing ideal therapeutic concentrations with minimal systemic effects. The treatment has revolutionized the management of various ocular conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and retinal vascular occlusions. With success rates above 90% in many cases and a well-established safety profile, intravitreal injections have become the gold standard for various retinal pathologies that previously had reserved prognosis.

Decision Process

Treatment indication is based on detailed evaluation with specific imaging tests, considering ocular condition, disease severity, and response to previous treatments. It's essential to discuss the therapeutic protocol and application frequency.

Preparation for the Procedure

Preparation includes general ocular health assessment, intraocular pressure measurement, and OCT exams for monitoring. It's important to follow guidelines about eye drop use and ocular hygiene.

The Procedure

Application is performed in a sterile environment, with topical anesthesia in drops. The procedure itself takes just a few minutes and uses standardized technique for maximum safety.

Recovery Period

Recovery is generally quick, with return to normal activities the next day. Small floating spots in vision and mild initial discomfort may occur.
