AN EASY WAY TO PREVENT VELOCITY-RELATED COMPLICATIONS DURING DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT INJECTION IN VITRECTOMIZED EYES
Injecting an ophthalmic viscoelastic device into the DEX implant needle significantly decreases the velocity of the free pellet in balanced salt solution by 87.87%. This modification may help prevent potential velocity-related complications linked to DEX implantation in vitrectomized eyes.
