Intracameral injections are a method of delivering medication directly into the anterior chamber of the eye, typically used to treat conditions like intraocular infections, inflammation, or glaucoma. The procedure involves injecting the medication into the eye using a fine needle, allowing the drug to target the affected area directly.
Common medications administered via intracameral injection include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, and drugs for controlling eye pressure. This technique offers rapid and localized treatment, reducing systemic side effects and improving outcomes.
Intracameral injections are often used in conjunction with other eye surgeries or as a standalone treatment to manage specific ocular conditions.
