Sub-Tenon injection is a procedure in which medication, such as steroids, is injected beneath the Tenon’s capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the eye. This injection is often used to treat conditions like uveitis, eye inflammation, or post-operative inflammation following cataract surgery or other ocular procedures.

The medication is delivered directly to the site of inflammation, providing targeted treatment and reducing systemic side effects. Sub-Tenon injections are commonly used in patients who do not respond to oral medications or topical treatments.

This procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed in an outpatient setting, and provides effective relief from eye inflammation and other conditions.
