Intravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab (Avastin) to Treat Posterior Capsule Neovascularization
We report a 64-year-old diabetic woman who developed neovascularization of the posterior capsule 2 years after cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. The patient was treated with single injection of 1.25 mg of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) via pars plana. After one week, complete regression of the posterior capsule neovascularization was achieved allowing us to perform Nd: YAG...
متن کاملIntrastromal injection of bevacizumab in patients with corneal neovascularization.
Corneal neovascularization (NV) not only reduces visual acuity, but it also causes loss of the cornea's immune privilege, strongly contributing to a worse prognosis in penetrating keratoplasty. Several mediators participate in corneal angiogenesis, and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been extensively proven. Anti-VEGF agents have been shown to be effective in slowing t...

متن کاملIntrastromal Injection of Bevacizumab in the Management of Corneal Neovascularization: About 25 Eyes
Introduction. Corneal neovessels are a major risk factor for corneal graft rejection, due to the loss of the immune privilege. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intrastromal injection of bevacizumab in the treatment of corneal neovascularization. Material and Methods. This is a prospective study that included 25 eyes of 22 patients with deep corneal neovessels, treat...
متن کاملTreatment of Corneal Neovascularization Using Anti-VEGF Bevacizumab
Purpose. To evaluate antiangiogenic effect of local use of bevacizumab (anti-VEGF antibody) in patients with corneal neovascularization. Methods. Patients were divided into two groups. All patients suffered from some form of corneal neovascularization (NV). Patients in group A received 0.2-0.5 mL of bevacizumab solution subconjunctivally (concentration 25 mg/mL) in a single dose. Group A includ...
