Abstract : Poor patient cooperation is thought to be the main issue when attempting to perform intravitreal injection in pediatric patients in the office. Therefore, the authors describe an alternative technique to apply intravitreal injection in an outpatient setting in cases of postvitrectomy aphakic pediatric patients.
