Overview
Symptoms after intravitreal injection range from expected irritation or subconjunctival haemorrhage to sight-threatening endophthalmitis, IOP spike, corneal abrasion, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal tear, or retinal detachment. The workflow is to separate mild improving irritation from worsening pain, increasing redness, reduced vision, floaters, hypopyon/vitritis, pressure symptoms, or retinal detachment symptoms requiring same-day emergency contact with the injecting ophthalmologist/retina service or ED.
