These new blood vessels are bad because they grow abnormally and bleed into the eye. In some retinal diseases, the blood vessel growth is controlled by a growth factor called VEGF. Anti-VEGF medicines interrupt this process, which should slow the growth and any associated swelling. Steroids are only used in patients that don\u2019t respond to anti-VEGF drugs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1aa7d42\" data-id=\"1aa7d42\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6d0809 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c6d0809\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.16.0 - 20-09-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"284\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nethraspandana.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Leaking-blood-vessel-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1039\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nethraspandana.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Leaking-blood-vessel-1.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.nethraspandana.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Leaking-blood-vessel-1-274x300.jpg 274w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intravitreal Injection An intravitreal injection is\u00a0a shot of medicine into the eye.
