Dr. Finger wrote this lecture to share this experience with intravitreal injections. Since he first used intraviteral anti-VEGF agents for the treatment of radiation maculopathy and optic neuropathy, there has been quite an evolution of his intravitreal methods. Most methods for intravitreal injections are similar, but there are two key points that differentiate Dr. Finger's technique from others!
Very informative video and I love the explanation/research behind the techniques. Can tell you really care about your patient's comfort
This procedure looks absolutely horrible. I don’t care what angle is used. Is the patient strapped down in the chair?
Hello Sarah. The procedure is basically painless, due to the eye drops applied. At no point in time is the patient strapped down to the chair. Also, the eye drops do not burn. Currently there are practices that are moving away from the needle, and we are working on less invasive ways of curing eye cancers! Thank you for watching. Do not be scared, as many people have had this procedure and it is just a way of life for them.
