Silicone Oil Migration During Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections: A Review of Clinical Evidence and Factors Related to Transmission
SO contamination during IVIs can be minimized through careful optimization of syringe design, handling practices, and injection techniques. Embracing silicone-free or low-silicone syringe systems, alongside meticulous procedural protocols, offers the potential to enhance the safety and clinical outcomes of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy.
