Committee Recommendations (1)

The PCN recommends Intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) for the treatment of non-infectious Uveitis in line with NICE TA460

Ozurdex is a payment by results excluded drug and will be considered RED on the traffic light system with treatment being provided by ophthalmology specialist teams in secondary care.

Specialists will be expected to notify commissioners through blueteq by completing tick box proformas for initiation and repeat implants.
