Audit and Research

The number of IVT injections, diagnoses, visual acuity and safety profiles are shown in Figures 10.1 and 10.2 and in Tables 10.1 and 10.2.

Among the number of IVT injections performed from 2006 to 2012 at SNEC, Avastin* (bevacizumab) injections were most widely used.



Of the 1,085 anti-VEGF injections administered, the most common diagnosis treated was AMD.


Three months after treatment, one out of three patients demonstrated a gain of ≥ 15 letters in their visual acuity (Cheung et al., 2014)
