Abstract
Purpose: To describe the results of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in managing autoimmune retinopathy (AIR).
Methods: Two patients affected by AIR underwent intravitreal dexamethasone implantation and were followed by ocular coherence tomography, visual fields, and electroretinography.
Results: The patients showed an interruption of the functional losses and remained stable with semestral injections.
Conclusion: AIR is a complex condition with no standard treatment. The use of dexamethasone could be a valid option.
