Diabetic Macular Edema, Retinal Vein Occlusion, Vogt Koyanagi Harada Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
Suprachoroidal drug delivery is a recent route for managing various ocular conditions. Safety and long term results are still under investigations.
Detailed description
In this study, we aim to analyze the long term results of suprachoroidal injection in treating various retinal diseases to focus on its efficacy, safety and long term ocular effects as ocular hypertension, cataract progression and macular edema resolution.
Interventions
Pars plana suprachoroidal injection of 4mg//0.1ml triamcinolone acetonide.
