Risks of intravitreal injections
Injections into the vitreous in the eye are associated with serious eye infection
(endophthalmitis, pronounced
en-dof-thal-my-tis), eye inflammation,
increased eye pressure, and retinal detachments. In the days following injection
with OZURDEX
®, patients are at risk for serious eye infection or
elevated eye pressure.
If your eye becomes red, sensitive to light, painful, or develops
a change in vision, you should seek immediate care from your eye doctor.
Also, you may experience temporary visual blurring after receiving an injection
and should not drive or use machines until this has resolved. These are not the
only risks associated with intravitreal injections. If you experience other side
effects, you should immediately contact your eye doctor. Your Retina Specialist
will discuss the possible risks with you before performing the injection.
