Summary

The use of 0.5 mg/0.05 ml of ranibizumab intracamerally, to induce regression of iris neovascularisation in a non-diabetic patient, is reported. A 55-year-old Malay man presented with left eye rubeosis and hyphaema secondary to ischaemic remnant retinal flap in his silicone filled pseudophakic eye. Regression of rubeosis and resolution of hyphaema was noted within 4 days of injection of intracameral ranibizumab, allowing repeat vitrectomy to be performed without much bleeding, thus facilitating removal of his intraocular lens and laser to remaining flap. One month postoperatively he remained comfortable with counting fingers vision similar to the pre-hyphaema period.
