ANTI-VEGF Intra Vitreal Injections
ANTI-VEGF Intra Vitreal Injections
Mr. Golchin administers the anti-VEGF drug (such as Lucentis and Eylea) directly to your eye as an outpatient procedure.
Anti-VEGF injections are used to treat a condition known as macular odema. This can occur in patients with wet ARMD or Diabetics.
Before the procedure Mr. Golchin will clean your eye to prevent infection and will use an anaesthetic drop or injection of anaesthetic with a very fine needle to numb your eye. You may receive multiple anti-VEGF injections over the course of many months. Repeat anti-VEGF treatments are often needed for continued benefit.
In some cases, your Mr. Golchin may recommend combining anti-VEGF treatment with other therapies. The treatment that is right for you will depend on the specific condition he is treating.

For most people 2020 was a terrible year, nothing but Covid and lockdowns, for me it was the year I got my eyesight back.
I've been wearing reading glasses since I was 7 years old. The optic nerve in my right eye never really developed so I had to rely on my left eye to provide me with adequate sight, with a prescription in my right eye to help balance it.
This continued right through my childhood, adolescence, then through adulthood until my 40's. At that stage, my left eye had also began to fail, so, "call it vanity", I decided to opt for laser surgery.
This unfortunately only lead to further complications and so was back to wearing glasses, 18 months after the treatment, with an eye prescription worse than ever.
I knew by my early 50's my eyesight was in a serious state. Even with glasses everything was a blur and going in the wrong direction. I decided to seek further help, so for 3 years I visited eye specialists in Cork and Dublin hoping for a solution.
Nobody wanted to know me after my failed eye operations and poor sight, except one man, MR Behrooz Golchin, a man I credit for saving my eyesight.
Within 3 months I got synthetic lenses for both eyes. 12 months later I am still in disbelief of what he was able to do to correct my eyesight.
Thank you Mr Golchin
