Purpose. To describe the results of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in managing autoimmune retinopathy (AIR). Methods. Two patients affected by AIR underwent intravitreal dexamethasone implantation and were followed by ocular coherence tomography, visual fields, and electroretinography. Results. The patients showed an interruption of the functional losses and remained stable with semestral injections. Conclusion. AIR is a complex condition with no standard treatment. The use of dexamethasone could be a valid option.
