Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Evaluation of a Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant in the Crystalline Lens: A Case Report
The injection of a dexamethasone implant is becoming increasingly common. Nonetheless, it must always be carried out carefully, to avoid complications. If the implant is accidentally injected into the crystalline lens, the AS-OCT can help determine its exact location, which is important for preparing the surgical plan and determining the appropriate timing.
