The procedure will be performed under topical anesthesia (0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution). The intravitreal injection will be performed by the retina specialist. Topical antiseptic (5% povidone iodine solution) will be applied on the periorbital and ocular surface. Eyelid speculum will be inserted to expose the injection area. It will include an intravitreal injection at the superotemporal quadrant (right eye) and superonasal quadrant (left eye), 3.5 to 4 mm posterior to the limbus. A 30-gauge needle will be used to deliver a 0.05 to 0.1 ml sEV suspension into the vitreous cavity. Indirect ophthalmoscopy will be performed immediately after the procedure to ensure no occlusion of the central retinal artery. The eye will be rinsed thoroughly by normal saline to wash out remaining antiseptic. The total duration for an intravitreal injection will be approximately 30 minutes.
