ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR INJECTION TECHNIQUE FOR RECURRENT EXUDATIVE MACULAR DEGENERATION IN A TELESCOPE-IMPLANTED EYE

Abstract

Purpose: 

To describe the management of a patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration and an implantable miniature telescope.

Methods: 

Clinical case report.

Results: 

The patient developed recurrent choroidal neovascularization after telescope implantation and was successfully managed with a series of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections and serial ocular coherence tomography through the telescope.

Conclusion: 

Intravitreal injections can be safely performed in an eye with a telescope using standard ocular coherence tomography imaging and taking into consideration the unique geometric dimensions of the telescope.
