Advancements in eye care technology have made it possible to treat serious retinal conditions with minimally invasive procedures. Intravitreal injections are one of the most effective treatments available today, helping preserve and improve vision for millions of patients worldwide.

If your eye doctor has recommended an intravitreal injection, you might have questions about the procedure, how it works, and what to expect. At Eyeris Eye Care, we’re here to guide you through the process and ensure your comfort every step of the way.

What Are Intravitreal Injections?

An intravitreal injection is a tiny injection of medication directly into the vitreous (the gel-like substance inside the eye). This allows the drug to reach the retina and treat various retinal diseases effectively.

These injections are commonly used for conditions such as:
✅ Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – A leading cause of vision loss in older adults.
✅ Diabetic Retinopathy & Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) – Complications from diabetes affecting the retina.
✅ Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) – Blockages in retinal veins that can lead to swelling and vision loss.
✅ Uveitis – Inflammation in the eye that can cause long-term damage if untreated.

How Does the Latest Technology Improve Treatment?

With modern anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medications and steroid treatments, eye specialists can now manage retinal diseases more effectively than ever before. These advanced drugs help:
🔹 Reduce abnormal blood vessel growth (as seen in AMD)
🔹 Decrease swelling and inflammation
🔹 Prevent further vision loss and, in some cases, restore vision

At Eyeris Eye Care, we use the latest imaging technology to precisely monitor retinal health and determine the best course of treatment.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Many patients worry about pain or discomfort, but the truth is, intravitreal injections are quick, safe, and relatively painless. Here’s what happens:

Step 1: Numbing the Eye

✔️ Your eye is numbed using anesthetic drops to ensure you feel minimal discomfort.
✔️ The area around your eye is cleaned to prevent infection.

Step 2: The Injection

✔️ A tiny needle is used to deliver the medication directly into the vitreous.
✔️ The injection itself takes only a few seconds and is virtually painless due to the numbing drops.

Step 3: Aftercare & Recovery

✔️ You may experience mild irritation or slight blurriness, but this usually resolves within a few hours.
✔️ Your doctor may check your eye pressure after the injection.
✔️ You can resume most normal activities the same day, though avoiding strenuous exercise is recommended.

Are Intravitreal Injections Safe?

Yes! Intravitreal injections are a safe and well-established treatment when performed by an experienced eye specialist. Complications are rare, but as with any procedure, there are minimal risks, such as temporary floaters, mild irritation, or infection. Your doctor will discuss these risks before the procedure and guide you on post-treatment care.
