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.
