What is Intravitreal Treatment?
Intravitreal treatment involves administering medication directly into the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance inside the eye. This approach allows for targeted delivery of powerful medications to treat retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinal vein occlusion. It is a crucial method for managing conditions that affect the retina and macula.
