Dexamethasone intravitreal implant in the crystalline lens: a case report

ABSTRACT This report describes the therapeutic effects and outcomes of an accidental injection of an intralenticular sustained-release dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) in three patients with diabetic macular edema. All three patients underwent accidental injections of sustained-release intravitreal dexamethasone implants into the crystalline lens by the same surgeon. After the accidental injection of Ozurdex® into the crystalline lens, a remarkable reduction in the macular edema and an improvement in visual acuity were observed, suggesting that a positive outcome can be achieved without immediate surgery.

摘要：本报告记述了3例糖尿病性黄斑水肿患者意外接受晶状体腔内缓释地塞米松植入剂（Ozurdex®）注射后的治疗效果与临床转归。三名患者均由同一位医师将本用于玻璃体内的缓释地塞米松植入剂意外注入晶状体内。将Ozurdex®意外注入晶状体后，观察到患者黄斑水肿显著减轻、视力得到改善，这提示无需立即手术即可获得良好预后。
