Intravitreal Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment is a medical procedure used to address certain eye conditions, particularly those affecting the retina. It involves the injection of medication directly into the vitreous gel of the eye. Anti-VEGF drugs work by inhibiting the growth of abnormal blood vessels that can cause vision problems. By targeting and reducing the presence of VEGF, intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment aims to slow down the progression of these conditions, preserve or improve vision, and prevent further damage to the retina.
Eye Diseases or Conditions Treated with Anti-VEGF Injections
Here are the eye diseases or conditions that are commonly treated with Anti-VEGF injections:
Who should not receive Anti-VEGF treatment or require caution?
Step 1:
– The eye specialist will review your medical history, including any existing eye conditions, and conduct a comprehensive eye examination.
Step 2:
– Additional tests may be performed to evaluate the specific condition. These tests can include optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess retinal thickness and angiography to visualise blood vessels and detect abnormalities.
Step 3:
– Based on the examination and test results, the eye specialist will diagnose the underlying condition, such as Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Macular Oedema (DME), or Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO).
Step 4:
– If the diagnosis indicates the need for Anti-VEGF injections, the eye specialist will discuss the treatment plan, its benefits, and potential risks or side effects.
1. Preparation:
– The procedure is done in the operation theatre with aseptic precautions. You will lie down comfortably during the injection.
2. Numbing the Eye:
– Local anaesthetic drops are applied to numb the eye and minimise discomfort.
3. Cleaning and Sterilization:
– Your eyelids and eye surface are cleaned to prevent infection. A surgical sheet is placed over your face and eye to maintain sterility.
4. Keeping the Eye Open:
– A small clip (speculum) is used to keep the eye open during the procedure.
5. Marking the Injection Site:
– The injection site is marked with callipers. Your eye is stabilised with forceps or a cotton bud.
6. Injection:
– The Anti-VEGF drug is injected into your eye using a fine needle.The injection itself takes less than 20 seconds.
7. Post-Injection Care:
– After the injection, antibiotics and lubricating eye drops are prescribed. Your intraocular pressure will be checked the next day during your follow-up appointment.
Avoid Water Contact:
– It is crucial to avoid getting water into your eye or swimming for the first few days following the injection.
– This precaution helps to prevent any potential infection or complications.
Follow Medication Instructions:
– Adhere to the prescribed antibiotic and lubricating eye drops as instructed by your eye specialist.
– These medications help prevent infection and keep the eye lubricated.
Attend Follow-up Appointments:
– Make sure to attend your scheduled follow-up appointments with your eye specialist.
– These appointments are crucial for monitoring your progress, checking intraocular pressure, and determining if further treatment is necessary.
