Semin Ophthalmol. 2011 May;26(3):104-13. doi: 10.3109/08820538.2010.541318.

Abstract

As the intravitreal injection of therapeutic medication plays an increasingly large role in ophthalmology, its implementation continues to be modified and refined. Variations in injection technique are discussed, and the authors combine their clinical and research experience with a review of the literature to propose a recommended intravitreal injection protocol.
