Intravitreal injection technique

This article describes how to give an intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF drug. At present, the majority of intravitreal injections are administered by doctors; however, experience in the UK has shown that trained nurses can give these injections as safely as ophthalmologists. The single most important thing to remember is that an intravitreal injection is an intraocular operation, and should be treated equally seriously. The most devastating complication is endophthalmitis, and you must take every possible precaution to prevent infection.
