About Intravitreal Anti-VEGF
All About Intravitreal Anti-VEGF and Its Procedure
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:
- Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet ARMD or Wet AMD):This progressive eye disease causes abnormal blood vessels to grow beneath the macula, leading to vision loss.
- Diabetic Macular Edema (DME): DME is a complication of diabetic retinopathy, where fluid accumulates in the macula, causing vision impairment. Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO): RVO occurs when a vein in the retina becomes blocked, leading to vision problems.
- Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization (CNVM): This condition occurs in people with severe nearsightedness and involves the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina.
- Other Retinal Conditions with Fluid Leakage: Anti-VEGF injections may also be recommended for other retinal conditions where fluid leaks under the retina, causing vision impairment. These injections help reduce fluid accumulation and improve vision in such cases.
It’s essential to consult an eye care professional to determine the appropriate use of Anti-VEGF injections based on an individual’s specific condition and needs.
Who should not receive Anti-VEGF treatment or require caution?
- Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Anti-VEGF treatment may require caution during pregnancy, and its effects on breastfeeding infants are unknown.
- Infection: Individuals with an eye infection or severe infection anywhere in their body should not receive anti-VEGF therapy.
- Recent Heart Attack or Stroke: Patients who have experienced a heart attack or stroke within the last three months, or those with uncontrolled angina or high blood pressure, should use anti-VEGF cautiously. Notify your doctor of any changes in your medical condition.
- Allergy to Anti-VEGF Medication: Individuals with an allergy to anti-VEGF medication should not undergo anti-VEGF therapy.
- Initial discomfort and redness for a few days (bleed/bruise at the injection site, clears in weeks).
- Sore and gritty eyes.
- Vision may have "floaters" (blobs or specks) temporarily.
- Quick flashing lights or swirls of light immediately after injection.
- Swelling, pain, or worsening vision occurs after treatment (possible infection).
Treatment and Care
At Krishnanetralaya, we provide comprehensive care for cataracts, ensuring a seamless journey from diagnosis to recovery.
- 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.
