Reduction of Post Intravitreal Injection Bleeding and Pain by Ice

Intravitreal injections are an efficient method for delivering intraocular therapeutic agents in numerous ophthalmologic diseases. However, side effects, such as pain and subconjunctival hemorrhage remain a major concern.

Prevention or alleviation of those side effects might shorten the healing duration and improve patients' quality of life.
