Subconjunctival Injection
About the procedure
A subconjunctival injection involves administering medication, such as antibiotics or steroids, directly beneath the conjunctiva. This method delivers high local concentrations of drugs to treat severe ocular infections, inflammation, or as adjunctive therapy. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions after topical anaesthesia, with a small volume injected into the subconjunctival space. Clinical examination determines the indication, and cultures may be obtained if infection is suspected. Post-procedure care focuses on monitoring for discomfort or local reactions while continuing systemic or topical therapy as prescribed.
