The intravitreal injection of medication (IVOM<\/em>)<\/strong> involves injecting a small amount of a highly effective medicinal substance precisely where it is needed: into the interior of the eye. This allows for a strong effect with minimal general side effects. Different medications are available for various conditions. Most commonly, corticosteroids are used to suppress inflammatory reactions, as well as active ingredients that inhibit vascular growth, seal vessel walls, and thereby reduce retinal swelling and bleeding. These medications are used for age-related macular degeneration<\/em><\/a> (AMD), diabetic macular edema<\/em><\/a>, retinal vascular occlusions<\/em>, intraocular (rheumatic) inflammations, and radiation therapy-related side effects on the retina (radiation retinopathy<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Frequently Asked Questions about Intravitreal Injections (IVOM)<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
