Targeted Retinal Therapy

Intravitreal Injections in Mumbai


An Intravitreal Injection is a specialized medical procedure used to deliver medication directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye. By administering medication directly into this space, it allows for targeted treatment of various retinal conditions that affect the back of the eye.

At Trivision Eye Hospital in Mumbai, these injections are commonly used to treat serious conditions such as:

  • Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): To stop abnormal blood vessel growth.
  • Diabetic Retinopathy: To treat swelling caused by diabetes.
  • Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO): To reduce edema from blocked veins.
  • Macular Edema: Swelling of the central retina which leads to vision loss.

Intravitreal injections have revolutionized the treatment of these diseases, allowing for the direct delivery of potent Anti-VEGF medications or steroids to the site of the problem, often preserving or even improving vision.

FAQ: Eye Injections

Surprisingly, no. We use strong anesthetic eye drops to numb the surface of the eye completely. Most patients feel only a slight pressure or a tiny pinch for a second, but no significant pain.

The frequency depends on your specific condition and how your eye responds to the medication. For conditions like Wet AMD or Diabetic Macular Edema, you might need an injection every 4 to 8 weeks initially.

The most common medications are Anti-VEGF drugs (like Lucentis, Avastin, or Eylea) which stop the growth of abnormal blood vessels and reduce leakage. In some cases, steroids are used to reduce inflammation.
