Risk of ptosis following eyelid speculum assisted intravitreal anti-VEGF injections
The repeated use of an eyelid speculum during intravitreal anti-VEGF injections does not significantly contribute to ptosis development. MRD1 tends to be similar between the injected and non-injected eye, suggesting that intrinsic factors may play a more crucial role in determining eyelid position than the mechanical effects of the procedure.
