Intravenous injections

These are treatments in which drugs are injected directly into the eye, more precisely into the vitreous body. The vitreous humor is the gel-like substance inside the eye. It may sound complicated, but we assure you, it's easier than it sounds!

Such injections are used to treat certain eye diseases that cannot be treated with eye drops or tablets. These include, for example, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Before we perform the injection, we will numb your eye with drops. So you should not feel any pain during the procedure. It may feel a little strange, but that feeling passes quickly.

The procedure itself takes only a few minutes. However, we ask that you arrive a little early to prepare and stay a short time for observation after the injection.

As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects, but they are rare. This may include redness, swelling or a slight feeling of pressure in the eye. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

There are no special preparations. However, it would be good if you do not come alone, as your vision may be impaired for a short time after the treatment.

After the injection, we recommend that you rest and take care of the eye. Avoid strenuous activities and protect the eye from direct water.

The effect of the treatment may vary. Some patients notice improvement within a few days, others have to wait several weeks.

We hope this guide helps you understand more about intravitreal injections. Our goal is to make you feel safe and well taken care of. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
