How Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant is performed
This treatment can optionally include long-acting dexamethasone or fluocinolone acetonide implants, depending on the site of inflammation and the risk of recurrence. Usually, after topical anesthesia and disinfection, a micro-implant is injected into the vitreous cavity with a disposable injection device, and the incision and intraocular pressure are checked. Postoperative close observation of inflammation control and intraocular pressure changes, combined with systemic or local medication if necessary, the goal is to relieve macular edema and stabilize visual function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
