During a 6-year period that included the initiation of intravitreal melphalan at our institution, the salvage rate of treated Group D eyes was 75% (39/52 eyes). Intravitreal melphalan was utilized for ocular salvage in 42% (22/52 eyes). Systemic chemoreduction combined with intravitreal melphalan for seeding demonstrated a high overall salvage rate for Group D eyes in this cohort.
