Intravitreal Injection (IVI)

Intravitreal Injection (IVI)

Intravitreal injection is a highly effective treatment where medication is delivered directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye (the gel-like fluid inside the eye). This allows the drug to act directly on the retina, giving faster and more targeted results compared to oral or intravenous medicines.

It is commonly used for conditions such as:

  • Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

  • Retinal Vein Occlusion

  • Severe Eye Infections

At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital & Research Centre, we provide safe and advanced intravitreal injection therapy using the latest anti-VEGF medications and antibiotics. Our retina specialists ensure precise drug delivery, strict infection control, and close follow-up to preserve and restore vision.
