Abstract

Intravitreal injection of steroid was first introduced to prevent inflammatory reaction following retinal detachment surgery. Since then it has been use for different condition with inflammatory process at the back of the eye. However, the side effects of steroids in general made their use limited specially with the last few years introduction anti-endothelial vascular growth factor injection.
