Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injection
Q: What insights can you share from the Avastin outbreak and what did it teach the field?
The Avastin outbreak underscored the critical need for strict sterility in drug preparation and rapid, coordinated management to limit vision loss, reinforcing the importance of outbreak containment protocols and surveillance.
Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injection
Q: How has the approach to prophylaxis around intravitreal injections evolved, particularly regarding povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine?
Povidone-iodine remains foundational for ocular surface sterilization, with careful timing (30 seconds minimum contact) and post-injection irrigation to reduce toxicity; chlorhexidine is considered an alternative in some cases, though povidone-iodine has more experience and broader acceptance in ophthalmology.
Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injection
Q: What is the current standard empiric therapy for presumed bacterial endophthalmitis after an injection?
Empiric therapy typically includes intravitreal vancomycin and ceftazidime, often with dexamethasone to control inflammation, with adjustments made based on clinical response and culture results.
The New Day Trial of Iluvien for DME
Q: So where does Iluvien fit into your practice these days?
I have a DME patient and I'm not, if I'm giving anti-VEGF medicine and I'm not getting anywhere, I'll use Iluvien after assessing their response to treatment.
The New Day Trial of Iluvien for DME
Q: What percent of eyes underwent cataract surgery in the Iluvien group?
28% of the entire population underwent cataract surgery in the Iluvien group.
