Abstract
Intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab for various retinal vascular disorders has
become the mainstay of treatment. The injection of Bevacizumab is usually
dispensed through local pharmacies after formulating from a larger vial under
sterile conditions. We report an interesting finding of silicone oil bubble in vitreal
cavity after intravitreal Bevacizumab injection. This is attributed to the fact that
the syringes used for dispensing bevacizumab are coated with silicone oil that
acts as a lubricant. These silicone oil droplets can lead to floaters and other
possible complications. We report two cases of such occurrence and propose
strategies to avoid this complication.
