Anti-VEGF injections are a type of treatment used primarily for eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. These injections work by blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which can cause abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye. By inhibiting VEGF, the injections help reduce swelling and prevent vision loss. The procedure involves a healthcare professional injecting the medication directly into the eye, usually in a clinic setting. Patients may require multiple injections over time, depending on their specific condition and response to treatment. This therapy has been shown to improve vision and maintain eye health for many individuals.
