INTRAOCULAR NEEDLE TREATMENT IS A TREATMENT THAT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY APPLIED IN THE LAST 10-15 YEARS.
Although it may seem frightening to patients, it is actually a simple procedure.
Especially in the haemorrhagic type of macular degeneration. IT IS COMMONLY USED IN DIABETES-RELATED VISION LOSS, EYE VESSEL CLOSAGES AND BLEEDING.
BEFORE THE PROCEDURE, THE EYE IS CLEANED WITH ANTISEPTIC WATER. ANESTHETIC SUBSTANCE IS DROPPED TO PREVENT PAIN.
THE NEEDLE USED IS EXTREMELY THIN. INJECTION IS MADE IN THE WHITE PART CALLED THE SCLERA, Slightly OUTSIDE THE COLORED PART OF THE EYE. IT IS A PROCESS THAT TAKES A FEW SECONDS. THE PATIENT MAY FEEL A VERY SLIGHT STINGING DURING THE APPLICATION.
AFTER THE INJECTION, ANTIBIOTIC DROPS ARE DROPPED INTO THE EYE REGULARLY. THE EYE IS CLOSED FOR A FEW DAYS TO PREVENT GERMS.
Although intraocular needle application is a simple procedure, it is a surgical intervention. IT SHOULD BE APPLIED UNDER OPERATING ROOM CONDITIONS, PAYING ATTENTION TO ANTISEPSY. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID GERMS DURING AND AFTER THE PROCESS.
