How Intralesional Corticosteroid Injection is performed
This treatment can be used as an option after conservative treatment or as a combined approach. Typically performed under local anesthesia, a small amount of corticosteroid is injected into the lesion area using a fine needle. The drug exerts local anti-inflammatory and anti-granulation effects, promoting gradual shrinkage of the nodule. Post-operative observation is short, focusing on local redness, swelling, intraocular pressure, and visual symptoms, with the goal of improving discomfort and promoting absorption. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
