Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined fine-needle diathermy and subconjunctival Bevacizumab injection in patients with corneal neovascularization.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does combined fine-needle diathermy and subconjunctival Bevacizumab injection promote regression of corneal neovascularization? Is the treatment safe and well tolerated by patients?

Participants will:

Undergo a baseline evaluation, including assessment of disease duration, ocular history, systemic medical history, and presenting symptoms.

Undergo a detailed ophthalmic evaluation, including best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp examination, corneal photography, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Provide informed consent after explanation of potential risks and benefits of the procedure.

Conditions

  • Corneal Neovascularisation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fine-needle diathermy

Fine-needle diathermy is performed under an operating microscope using a 10-0 nylon needle and low-power monopolar diathermy to occlude corneal neovessels.

DRUG

Bevacizumab

Bevacizumab 2.5 mg/0.1 mL is administered by subconjunctival injection adjacent to the treated corneal neovessels immediately after fine-needle diathermy.
