Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection technique for recurrent exudative macular degeneration in a telescope-implanted eye.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the management of a patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration and an implantable miniature telescope.


METHODS
Clinical case report.


RESULTS
The patient developed recurrent choroidal neovascularization after telescope implantation and was successfully managed with a series of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections and serial ocular coherence tomography through the telescope.


CONCLUSIONS
Intravitreal injections can be safely performed in an eye with a telescope using standard ocular coherence tomography imaging and taking into consideration the unique geometric dimensions of the telescope.
