This book explains how to use intravitreal steroids optimally in
the management of patients with intraocular inflammation (uveitis)
and macular edema. The rationale for this treatment approach is
first explained by examining the pathophysiology of these disease
entities, with particular attention to the major role of
inflammatory processes. Devices for the delivery of steroids to the
eye are discussed, and guidance provided on the role of imaging
studies before, during, and after steroid therapy. The value of
different steroidal approaches is then considered in detail. Other
topics addressed include the use of steroids as a surgical adjunct
and within a combination strategy. Uveitis and macular edema are
common sight-threatening diseases or complications of diabetes and
retinal vein occlusion for which no adequate treatment was
available until recently. Both trainees and practitioners will find
Intravitreal Steroids to be an invaluable aid in combating these
blinding diseases.
