Reimplantation of a Fluocinolone Acetonide Sustained Drug Delivery Implant for Chronic Uveitis

The fluocinolone implant controls ocular inflammation for an average of three years after initial insertion. After the implant is depleted of drug, inflammation may recur. Placement of a new implant maintains the eye in a quiet state and stabilizes or improves visual acuity for an extended time. Adverse events during insertion of a new implant are uncommon.
