Eylea (aflibercept)眼內注射治療
(Intravitreal Injection IVI)
-----視網膜靜脈阻塞所引起的黃斑部水腫
一位60多歲的女性，因為視力模糊到診所求診，之前至別家診所求診，起初以為只是白內障的問題，於是想來蕭醫師診所開白內障手術，後來經蕭醫師建議做進一步視網膜檢查時發現，除了白內障以外，尚有視網膜靜脈血管阻塞合併黃斑部水腫的問題，所以視力不良不單單只是白內障所造成。
經過三個月的點消水腫藥物治療 (Nevanac)，視力及視網膜黃斑部水腫狀況皆無改善，於是在第三個月左右決定為患者注射Eylea (aflibercept)。
Eylea (aflibercept)是一種新型藥物，有2種接受器 (anti-VEGF ＆ anti-PIGF)
注射前 2015/01/24 OS
左眼視網膜靜脈血管阻塞合併黃斑部水腫
視力嚴重下降至0.05
左眼最佳矯正視力0.05
黃斑部水腫高度519um
注射Eylea一週後 2015/06/05 OS
左眼最佳矯正視力0.4
黃斑部水腫高度215um
視力及黃斑部水腫狀況明顯改善許多
注射Eylea一個月後 2015/06/26 OS
左眼最佳矯正視力維持在0.4
黃斑部水腫高度207um
相信在白內障手術後，視力一定會更加進步。
