Hello
It seems from the history that your father is advised treatment with ozurdex and lucentis injections for retinal problems.
These drugs can be used and before injections all risk factors will be evaluated.
These are used for treatment of diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degenerations.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
