“…Other ocular procedures or surgeries, such as retrobulbar injections, can lead to retrobulbar hemorrhages and orbital compartment syndrome, which can be vision threatening. 13,14 In our case, the use of IV infusions of factor VIII before the planned intravitreal injections prevented bleeding complications. To our knowledge, the use of these infusions before planned ocular procedures has not previously been described.…”

Purpose: To report a patient with severe hemophilia A who received intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: A case and its findings were analyzed. A systematic literature was performed. Results: A patient with severe hemophilia A received intravitreal anti-VEGF for exudative AMD, after which he developed a severe subconjunctival hemorrhage requiring hemostatic intervention. The effects of anti-VEGF in patients with preexisting blood-clotting disorders, such as classic hemophilia, have not been widely reported in the current literature. Conclusions: This case illustrates that precautions must be taken when performing ocular procedures on patients with serious hemostasis disorders.
