Retisert (fluocinolone) "I suffer from a very aggressive case of Uveitis in my left eye due to Sarcoidosis. I have already had my right eye removed because of it. I became part of the research study developing this implant on the advice of my medical team and it preserved the sight in my remaining eye. I had minimal side effects: temporary pain after surgery, developed cataract (had removed 14 mos. later), increased eye pressure (used eye drops). On my 2nd implant now - usually lasts about 4 years. Highly recommend to anyone with uncontrollable Uveitis."

Yutiq (fluocinolone) "Yutiq implanted in both eyes 4 months apart like 1 or 2 years ago. I received it as soon as it was FDA approved for the United States Best thing I ever did after 21 years of injections I am almost 2 years out with no needles or any need for any other medication"

Yutiq (fluocinolone) "Just had Yutiq implanted this week. Be aware that the applicators are not of high quality. I’m thankful my doctor had the ability to have an alternate package from another lot number on hand since the first applicator wasn’t sharp enough to pierce my eye. Am hopeful this medication will keep my inflammation quiet for an extended time. If you’re going to charge almost 10k for a medicine, invest in a good applicator!"
