Patients will be randomised to study arms with a 1:1 ratio. Once randomised, Group 2 will receive a subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab and a subconjunctival injection of dexamethasone 3.3mg/ml. This will be given for 4 consecutive weeks from time of entry into trial.

Patients will be randomised to study arms with a 1:1 ratio. Once randomised, Group 1 will receive a subconjunctival injection of 5-fluorouracil and a subconjunctival injection of dexamethasone 3.3mg/ml. This will be given as required for 4 consecutive weeks from time of entry into trial. This is current standard practice.

Both intervention groups will be given a subconjunctival injection of dexamethasone at the time of injection of either bevacizumab or 5-fluorouracil
