Filter by:The purpose of this prospective interventional study is to compare post-intravitreal injection pain between eyes receiving topical bromfenac versus artificial tears as an analgesic after intravitreal injection.
This is the first randomized controlled trial looking into post-injection rinse volume of standard ophthalmic eyewash and its affect on patient comfort up to 72 hours after injections.
The investigators aim in this study to investigate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection on the development of macular edema and the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Whether this injection hastens cataract surgery results or not. The investigators will categorize the participants into two groups: the case group who will receive the injection at the end of the surgery, and the control group who will have routine cataract surgery with no extra injections.
Intravitreal injections (IVI) are the mainstay of treatment modality in many ophthalmologic diseases including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusions. Patients endure monthly IVI for several years. Although standardized topical anesthesia protocols are being carried out, many still suffer from pain during and after the procedure. Previous studies at the investigators clinic have demonstrated that alpha-agonist eye drops and cool eye compresses can be successfully used in order to reduce pain levels when administered prior to IVI. In the current research, the investigators wish to study whether cooled anesthetic eye drops and antiseptics can be utilized as well to reduce the pain and subconjunctival hemorrhage caused by bevacizumab IVI.
This study evaluated the discomfort associated with eyelid retraction during intravitreal injections. Participants had eyelid retraction with one of three methods: eyelid speculum, unimanual eyelid retraction method or with a cotton tipped applicator eyelid retraction technique. All participants were given a pain survey immediately after the injection to evaluate their discomfort level.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the long term safety and efficacy of cooling anesthesia application to the eye as anesthesia for intravitreal injection using a novel cooling anesthesia device.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cooling anesthesia application to the eye as anesthesia for intravitreal injection using a novel cooling anesthesia device and determine the effects of temperature and duration of application on subjective pain after intravitreal injection.
Intravitreal injections (IVI) of antiangiogenic agents (AA) have revolutionized the management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) in particular. Approximately 600,000 AA IVIs are performed each year in France. Corticosteroid IVIs are an alternative in the treatment of macular edema when it is diabetic or related to venous occlusion, but also due to inflammation. Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared complications after IVI because of its poor prognosis, despite its low incidence (values found in the literature between 0.01% and 0.08%). IVI practices have evolved over the years based on the recommendations of specialized organizations, with the current recommendation not to use antibiotic prophylaxis. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of intravitreal injections of anti-angiogenic agents and corticosteroids on the occurrence of endophthalmitis within 28 days following an injection.
