Eye Injection Behind The Iris

Illinois rates for HCPCS 0699T

A medicine is injected into the small fluid-filled space inside the eye that lies behind the iris and in front of the lens. The eye surface is numbed first and the injection is given in the clinic through a fine needle. Putting the medicine inside the eye means it acts where it is needed rather than having to travel there through the bloodstream.
