How It Works
Ozurdex is an intravitreal implant that delivers a sustained release of dexamethasone directly to the retina and vitreous body of the eye. The dexamethasone works by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines, reducing edema (swelling), and thereby improving visual acuity. This targeted approach allows for effective treatment with minimal systemic side effects.
