About the Procedure
What is Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections?
Anti-VEGF intravitreal injections are a minimally invasive outpatient treatment in which a medication is injected directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye to block abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage. They are the standard of care for diabetic retinopathy/diabetic macular edema and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), helping to preserve or improve vision and prevent further retinal damage. The procedure is quick, performed under topical anesthesia, and usually repeated in a series over several months as part of a treatment protocol.
Who may be considered?
Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
An off-label but widely used and clinically effective anti-VEGF agent, often chosen for its lower cost while offering comparable efficacy for many patients.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Bevacizumab (Avastin) Intravitreal Injection
Most Cost-EffectiveAn off-label but widely used and clinically effective anti-VEGF agent, often chosen for its lower cost while offering comparable efficacy for many patients.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $100 - $250
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA), Fundus photography, Intraocular pressure check, Visual acuity assessment, Blood sugar/HbA1c (for diabetics), Blood pressure check
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $150 - $350
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: ~1 day (day care)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2-3 days recommended
Total stay: approx 3-4 days per session
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Ophthalmologist consultation
- Pre-injection eye scans (OCT/FFA)
- Day-care procedure room and injection
- Sterile medication and disposables
- Immediate post-injection eye check
Usually Not Included
- Airfare and visa costs
- Hotel accommodation
- Repeat injection sessions (if series required)
- Medications for pre-existing conditions
- Interpreter/local transport
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients experience mild eye irritation or redness for 1-2 days and can resume normal activities the next day, though a series of injections spaced 4-8 weeks apart is often required with regular OCT follow-up to monitor response. Strenuous activity and swimming should be avoided for a few days after each injection.
Risks
Though generally very safe, potential risks include eye infection (endophthalmitis), temporary rise in intraocular pressure, retinal detachment, or bleeding, all of which are uncommon with proper sterile technique. Systemic side effects are rare but include a small risk of cardiovascular events with repeated dosing.
Alternatives
Alternatives may include laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, or intravitreal steroid implants, depending on the underlying condition and patient response. In advanced or refractory cases, vitrectomy surgery may be considered.

Common questions
FAQs about Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections in Delhi NCR, India
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the retina caused by the effects of diabetes on the eye's small blood vessels, which can ultimately threaten sight if not detected and managed appropriately. It ranges from mild background changes with no immediate impact on vision to advanced stages involving significant bleeding, scarring, or fluid accumulation at the centre of the retina.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Diabetic Retinopathy?
In early stages, diabetic retinopathy often causes no symptoms at all, which is why it frequently goes undetected without routine screening. As it progresses, a person may notice blurred or fluctuating vision, dark spots or floaters, difficulty seeing colours accurately, or — in severe cases — a sudden loss of vision. These symptoms can overlap with other eye conditions, and their presence or absence does not establish a diagnosis; a formal dilated eye examination is required.
How is Diabetic Retinopathy diagnosed?
Diagnosis is made by an ophthalmologist through a dilated fundus examination, which allows direct visualisation of the retina and its blood vessels. The condition is typically graded using internationally recognised classifications — broadly divided into non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), which is further staged as mild, moderate, or severe, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), the more advanced form characterised by abnormal new vessel growth. Additional investigations such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess macular oedema, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) to map leakage patterns, and retinal photography may all form part of a comprehensive evaluation, alongside a review of HbA1c, blood pressure, and other systemic markers.
How is Diabetic Retinopathy treated?
The appropriate treatment depends on the stage and specific features identified during assessment, and no single approach suits every individual — a qualified ophthalmologist should guide this decision based on a full clinical evaluation. In earlier stages, the priority is often optimising systemic control rather than intervening directly in the eye, whereas more advanced stages may require procedural treatments such as laser photocoagulation, intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, or, in cases involving vitreous haemorrhage or traction retinal detachment, vitreoretinal surgery. Regular monitoring and timely escalation of care are central to preserving vision across all stages.
Can Diabetic Retinopathy be treated without a procedure?
Non-procedural management plays a meaningful role, particularly in early and moderate non-proliferative stages: tightening blood glucose control (reflected in HbA1c targets agreed with a diabetologist or endocrinologist), managing blood pressure and cholesterol, and attending regular retinal screening appointments can slow progression significantly. Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections — though minimally invasive — are considered a procedural treatment, but they are delivered in a clinic setting without general anaesthesia and are commonly used for diabetic macular oedema even before laser treatment is considered. There is no purely passive non-surgical pathway for advanced proliferative disease, and honest discussion with a clinician about the risks of deferring treatment is essential.
When is Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections considered for Diabetic Retinopathy?
Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is evaluated and managed by an ophthalmologist, ideally one with subspecialty training or a focused practice in medical retina or vitreoretinal disease. Close coordination with the patient's diabetologist, endocrinologist, or general physician managing their diabetes and cardiovascular risk is an important part of comprehensive care.
How do I choose a doctor for Diabetic Retinopathy?
When comparing providers, look for an ophthalmologist with documented experience in retinal disease, access to up-to-date diagnostic imaging (including OCT and FFA), and a clear protocol for ongoing follow-up — since diabetic retinopathy requires long-term monitoring, not a single episode of treatment. Affiliation with a centre that can offer the full range of interventions, from laser and injections to vitreoretinal surgery, ensures that care can be escalated without transferring to a different team if your condition progresses.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
