Intraocular Injections

Ishraq Eye Center offers advanced intraocular injections to manage eye conditions like wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, and other retina-threatening ailments. These treatments precisely deliver medications into the eye to stabilize or improve vision.

Medications we use include:

• Avastin
• Eylea
• Lucentis
• Vabysmo
• BEOVU
• TAA (Triamcinolone Acetonide)
  These drugs help reduce fluid leakage, inflammation, and bleeding in the retina, improving or stabilizing vision.

Ozurdex

A sustained-release steroid implant used for intraocular injection to treat inflammatory retinal conditions, such as diabetic macular edema. It helps control inflammation and improve vision outcomes.

Each treatment is carefully selected based on the patient’s condition, and administered with the highest standards of safety and precision.

What Are Intraocular Injections?

Intraocular injections are tiny, precise doses of medication delivered directly into the eye’s vitreous cavity. They are used to treat conditions such as:

• Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
• Diabetic Macular Edema
• Retinal Vein Occlusion
• Other retinal inflammatory or vascular diseases

By targeting the source of the problem, injections help reduce swelling, stop abnormal blood vessel growth, and preserve vision.

What to Expect During the Procedure

We make the process simple, comfortable, and safe:

• Preparation – The eye is cleaned with antiseptic drops (povidone iodine or chlorhexidine) and numbing drops are applied.
• Positioning & Sterility – The eye is gently held open with a sterile speculum.
• Injection – Using a fine needle, the medication is injected into the vitreous cavity in seconds.
• Post-Procedure – Intraocular pressure (IOP) is checked, and antibiotic drops may be prescribed.

The entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes, and most patients return home the same day.
