Injecting a needle into your eye might sound scary. But sight-saving anti-VEGF eye injections should be a relatively painless procedure. www.mdfoundation.com.au
I have heard that the procedure is not pleasant, especially after the fact. Burning sensation from the antiseptic used to clear the area, after the anesthesia wears off. The feeling of having something gritty like sand in the eye itself. Bloody-looking eye and some short-term peripheral vision loss. General pain in the area from 24 to 48 hours.
No it's not. Though it's very very rare. But you can still talk to your doctor about it.. I've experienced one injection at the age of 33, and I'm telling you that it's SAFE!
The whole process is utterly horrendous the clip is painful and the whole thing covering your face is horrible I hate them and it takes me a day to recover from the stress it’s awful
I feel you!! I’ve been having to get injections every few months due to blood floaters from vomiting from pregnancy taking a toll on my retina. I have been terrified each time and used to have to take an anti anxiety drug before the appointment. I got a new doctor and saw her today she knew I wasn’t up for the injection but we did it. She numbed me with drops then 15 mins later tested with a q tip with lidocaine on it I felt a little pressure she used a few more drops and then tested ten minutes later and then used the damn eyelid spreader which hers was not the big chunky metal digger! Her tech used something called a beauty bar that vibrates on my other eye brow to distract from the actual injection. Right before she did the injection she also put extra lidocaine on my eye for after pain relief

@@syedadnan602 Hi. Thank God I only had laser. My doctor retire, so Im afraid of young doctor trying to inject $$$$ my eyes.
@@Yadira921 how do you feel now.
@@Yadira921 good that you had laser only, but some patients needs other treatment to heal their problem.
Hope everyone stays safe!
