Management and safety of same day bilateral intravitreal anti-VEGF injections in a treat-and-extend regimen
Bilateral same day intravitreal anti-VEGF injections within a TER regimen appear to be safe with no significant increase in ocular or systemic AEs compared to unilateral treatment. Coordinating bilateral IVTs using the clinical guideline presented in this study may reduce treatment visits, ease patient burden and improve compliance. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm safety and support standardised guidelines for bilateral IVTs.
