Description
An intravitreal implant is a drug delivery system, injected or surgically implanted in the vitreous of the eye, for sustained release of drug to the posterior and intermediate segments of the eye. Intravitreal corticosteroid implants are being investigated for a variety of inflammatory eye conditions.
An intravitreal implant may be an acceptable alternative in individuals who are intolerant or refractory to other therapies or in individuals who are judged likely to experience severe adverse events from systemic corticosteroids.
