RETINAL CRYOPEXY

This is also called retinal cryotherapy. It is a procedure that uses freezing to seal off a retinal tear or leaking blood vessel.

This is mainly used in the treatment of retinal tear, retinal detachment and most times diabetic retinopathy.

The doctor first numbs the eye using a local anesthesia, then he places a probe that releases cold to the spot where he wants to seal off. Afterwards he releases high intensity cold to the spot for over thirty minutes.

The procedure is very safe and non invasive.

LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION

This is a Procedure that involves the use of laser beams to shrink or destroy abnormal structures in the retina..

This procedure is normally used in cases of diabetic retinopathy and other conditions that brings about neovascularization.

Although in recent times, anti VEGF drugs have been favoured in the treatment of ARMD compared to laser photocoagulation.

Anti – VEGF Injection

Anti – VEGF is an injection that is used to prevent or reduce the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye.

VEGF is vascular endothelial growth factor. This VEGF is a cytokine protein responsible for  the growth and proliferation of blood vessels. So injecting the eye with anti VEGF will  eventually reduce the proliferation of new vessels while killing off the new vessels.

This anti-VEGF is a very important technique in treating conditions like diabetic retinopathy, vascular age related macular degeneration, and other vascular eye conditions.

Some anti VEGF drugs includes pegaptanib, afligecept, ranibizumab, bevacizumab
