What interventional radiology brings to ophthalmology: new imaging, targeted treatments, and future directions

Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive eye treatments: targeted chemo, embolization, CT-guided biopsies. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) enhances microvascular imaging. AI, nanotech will improve care, but cost and access remain challenges.

• OCTA is favored for its non-invasive, detailed visualization of ocular microvasculature.
• Challenges include limited access to equipment, trained specialists, and high costs.
• Emerging tools like simulation training and augmented/virtual reality aim to improve procedural precision and safety.
