Abstract

Treatment approaches for inherited eye diseases require local therapeutic molecule delivery by intraocular injection. One important factor that can influence the study outcome is the quality of intraocular administration. The intracompartmental structure (e.g., vitreous) of the eye allows a sustainable release of therapeutic biologicals using an intravitreal delivery. The protocol described here aims at providing the details relevant to perform a transscleral pars plana intravitreal transfer in small eyes using a genetically modified stem cell system. The fact that cells and therewith visually distinct particles are implanted, allows for the assessment of the implantation site and the distribution, and possibilities for temporal follow up studies-hence, valuable information becomes available which can be used to fine-tune the intravitreal delivery technique.
