Triesence

What is Triesence used for?
Triesence is a corticosteroid injection containing triamcinolone acetonide, used to treat inflammation and swelling in the eyes. It is commonly used in conditions like uveitis and during certain eye surgeries, such as cataracts or retinal procedures, to reduce inflammation and enhance recovery. Triesence provides targeted, long-lasting relief, making it an essential tool for managing ocular inflammatory conditions.

How is Triesence administered?
A qualified healthcare professional injects presence directly into the eye under sterile conditions. This procedure is performed in a clinical or surgical setting. The injection delivers the medication into the eye’s vitreous cavity, reducing inflammation and swelling. Self-administration is not recommended, as improper use could lead to complications.

What should I expect after a Triesence injection?
After the injection, you may experience temporary blurred vision, mild discomfort, or a sensation of pressure in the eye. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few hours to a day. Your doctor will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions, such as using antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection and scheduling follow-up visits to monitor your condition.

What are the potential side effects of Triesence?
Common side effects include mild discomfort or blurred vision immediately after the injection. In rare cases, presence may cause complications such as increased intraocular pressure, cataracts, retinal detachment, or infections. If you experience severe pain, vision changes, or signs of infection, such as redness or discharge, contact your doctor immediately.

Is Triesence safe for long-term use?
Presence is generally intended for single or short-term use. Prolonged or repeated use of corticosteroids in the eye may increase the risk of complications, including glaucoma, cataracts, or secondary infections. Your doctor will evaluate the risks and benefits before recommending repeated treatments.
