An intravitreal injection is a minimally invasive procedure where a small amount of medication or therapeutic substance is injected directly into the vitreous humor, the clear gel-like substance in the back portion of the eye. It is used primarily for treating diseases that affect the macula, such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The injection helps to prevent or slow down vision loss, restore vision, or even reverse some damage. The procedure is typically performed in a doctor's office under local anesthesia.
