*Rihab Ghanma MD, FRCS
ABSTRACT
Local steroid injection is a common route for management of posterior segment ocular diseases, including vascular retinal diseases with macular edema and inflammatory conditions.[1] The later indication was originally used for to avoid systemic immune suppressants.[2] Although the periocular steroid injection is less invasive than the intraocular injections, it has many complications including raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and cataract formation.[3] The implantable steroids are effective in the above-mentioned conditions, however, the cost and availability can restrict their use in our clinic.
