About Intravitreal Injection for Retinal Disease Treatment

An intravitreal injection is a minimally invasive ophthalmic procedure where medication is delivered directly into the vitreous gel of the eye to treat various retinal diseases. Performed by an ophthalmologist, typically a retina specialist, in an outpatient setting, this targeted approach allows high concentrations of therapeutic agents, such as anti-VEGF drugs, corticosteroids, or antibiotics, to act directly on the retina and macula. It is the standard of care for conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusions. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and is crucial for preserving and often improving vision by halting abnormal blood vessel growth and reducing inflammation and swelling in the back of the eye.

Key Highlights

Minimally Invasive: Performed with a fine needle, avoiding major surgery.Targeted Treatment: Delivers medication directly to the site of disease in the retina.Outpatient Procedure: Typically done in a clinic setting, allowing you to return home the same day.listrongVision Preservation:/strong A primary treatment to prevent vision loss from progressive retinal conditions./lilistrongQuick Administration:/strong The injection itself usually takes less than a minute./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
Macular Edema following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)
Diabetic Retinopathy (proliferative or non-proliferative with involvement of the center of the macula)
Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization
Retinal Vasculitis or Uveitis affecting the posterior segment
Endophthalmitis (infectious inflammation inside the eye)

How to prepare

Comprehensive eye examination and imaging (OCT, fluorescein angiography) to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment.
Discussion with your ophthalmologist about the medication, benefits, and potential risks.
Informed consent will be obtained.
Topical anesthetic drops will be applied to numb the eye; sometimes a mild sedative is offered.
The area around the eye (eyelids and lashes) will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
You may be asked to discontinue certain eye drops (like glaucoma medications) briefly before the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

Common & Temporary: Eye redness, irritation, floaters, or a feeling of something in the eye.
Increased Intraocular Pressure: A temporary spike in eye pressure, usually managed with drops.
Eye Infection (Endophthalmitis): A rare but serious risk; strict sterile technique minimizes this.
Retinal Detachment or Tear: An uncommon complication related to the needle entry.
Cataract Progression: Certain medications (steroids) can accelerate cataract formation.
Vitreous Hemorrhage: Bleeding inside the eye, which usually clears on its own.
Allergic Reaction: To the medication or cleansing agents used.

Recovery & hospital stay

You will rest in the clinic briefly after the injection. Vision will be blurry initially.
Use the prescribed antibiotic eye drops as directed to prevent infection.
Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on the injected eye.
You may resume most normal activities the next day, but avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, or dusty environments for a few days.
Use protective eyewear if needed.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments, as multiple injections are often required for optimal effect.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, worsening vision, or increased redness.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 days for initial discomfort; visual stabilization may take 1-4 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
