Abstract

Purpose:
Many methods for posterior sub-tenon steroid injection have been described for management of uveitis. Aim is to compare safety and efficacy of two methods.
Methods:
Prospective interventional study conducted on 60 patients with uveitis attending tertiary centre from January 2021-September 2022 other causes of macular edema were excluded. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups and Posterior subtenon Triamcinolone steroid injection was given randomly. Follow-up assessment in terms of visual acuity, reduction in CME done.
Results:
Groups were comparable with respect to age, sex and diagnosis (p>0.05).No significant difference in IOP and CMT between two treatments groups at various follow-ups (p>0.05).I

Conclusions: Cannula method is an alternative to Smith and Nozik method and may be safer, as a sharp needle is avoided after the initial entry done under visualization. Out come at any follow up between both the groups was insignificant.
