- Many people are frightened at the thought of having an eye injection. Yet millions of people every year have medication injections in the eye to help prevent vision loss. Understanding exactly what you can expect before, during and after a medical eye injection takes the mystery out of the procedure. It also helps to know that eye injections generally are not painful!

Had many of those in my eye .
It’s scary every time , but every time no pain what so ever.
Promise.
Just had both eyes injected at same time, 6th time 2nd day and already seeing an improvement in clearing fuzzy vision, well worth it. Bit traumatic but no pain , if your offered it don't refuse. Good luck.
How many times a month do you do this ? And do you see the improvement, and afterward, do you see the eye returning back to its normal blur vision ? Are you always having to have these shots in order to retain the vision ?
Thank you
I wish I saw this video before my first one, but my doctor who did it was VERY good at putting me at ease and informing me. These aren't really bad - I mean I'd rather not ever get them, but they really aren't bad even though they sound like something you couldn't even live through from the pain and fear. It's quick and painless. Anyone who is reading this because you're scared please try to relax and realize it will be over very quickly and you'll be fine, as hard as it is to believe.
Thank you! I’m going to be having my first injection next week. I am trying to get as much information before going. But I am still going to be nervous.
@@SnakeladyGreta Hope it went well for you. I am going tomorrow morning and I had one in the other eye a week ago. My eyes are improving slightly so now I only go every 12 weeks for each eye
@@johnny07652 Thank you! It wasn’t as bad as I had expected. I’m already seeing some improvement. I know it’s going to be slow, but I’m hopeful! I’m NOT dreading my next injection (15Nov2023). 😊
Thanks ….going for mine tmwr and I am scared as hell… but I know I will be fine
@mheyrie I just went again this very morning and it has been 12 weeks - as my eyes remain stable and improve they widen the time between shots - and o felt a LITTLE fear because it's been so long but yet again it was so fast and painless. The pain comes afterwards when one of the drops they had put in kind of stings - it is the drop and NOT the injection site. But the injection, in all honesty, is super quick and painless and easy. Don't freak out. Be a little scared maybe but just keep thinking about how when it's done you're going to walk out as if nothing happened literally.
In November 2021 I noticed my right eye had lost sharp focal ability. Test revealed a hemorrhage on my macular. Started with eye injections each 4 weeks. Stopped the injections in July 2022 but noticed my right eye vision beginning to blur again by September. The hemorrhage had started to come back. Since then I have had 5 more injections. Now waiting 6 weeks between injections. Vision has improved. Injection pain? Yes, but it's just for a few seconds and it's what the Dr. calls "pressure". I have told friends it's like an ice cream "brain freeze" in your eye.
my steroid eye injection for uveitis was super strange, a nurse applied numbing eye drops three times, five minutes in between each time that felt like a cold sizzle each time. I knew what was coming so I could mentally prepare and steel my nerves somewhat. When the injection happened there was no pain whatsoever but there *absolutely* was a sensation of pressure. It felt like getting an injection in my gums after novacaine, except in my eye. I was very stressed about whether moving my eyes around would affect anything, but I remember trying to shift my vision so I wasn't looking directly at the doctor and it turned out fine. Like the video said, you never even see the needle. This was two weeks ago and my uveitis is clearing up very well.
Going in next week for an injection for my uveitis. !!
Do u have posterior uveitis???
@@isabellaquinonez8796hii did u got posterior uveitis my daughter had it 😢 plzz replyy
Using a cartoonish-looking eye character to demonstrate does not minimize the anxiety most of us have about the idea of having a needle jabbed into our eye ball.
Would it be possible for someone to have three or four cocktails before having the procedure done?
I was a little nervous he told me to breathe and focus at the spot in the wall so I did you don't blink because the Dr is holding your lid open
I get this injection every two to three months. I don't dread it. I entertain myself with my iPhone while waiting for the numbing drops to work. The shot itself is momentary and there is little to no pain. If you were walking down the street and felt this in your eye you would barely notice it. Sometimes there is no discomfort afterward but sometimes the eye aches for a while. I'm not sure why the difference.
I hope I never need this because they’d have to put me to sleep 🥺
NO I HAD FLUID SAC AND ITS JUST TO NUMB THE AREA
No, not all injections are for numbing. Mine are a steroid to reduce the swelling behind my eye because I'm going blind.
Im going to have it next month. A friend told me is painless. Im going to decline a previous test with an IV. Huge needle phobia.
I had a injection today
@@geraldinewilliamsbenjamin8942 How was it, painful?
Have to get eye injections every 4 weeks due to a vein in my eye that's blocked and causing blurry vision.
Thank God for this video 👍
I've had eye injections to both eyes about 8 times thus far and this has been my experience with it: If you have a competent doctor you should not feel the needle, at least not more than a very slight painless pressure. Be sure they rinse your eyes very thoroughly afterward though, the antiseptic can sting if not completely removed, or of you are sensitive to it like me.
I have scanned the internet for a personal video made by someone who received one of these injections, but have found none.
Most are made by doctors who use terms like the procedure in well tolerated by patients. Well tolerated are two words that give me little comfort.
Notice how many videos about AMD have the comments turned off 🤔😣
Because the procedure is “tolerable,” which is med-speak for it is going to hurt or later be painful.
Amazing vedio thank you so much
its been two days when i get inject on my right eye for diabetic retinophthy i see little improvement now hoping this will work here in philippines its expensive cost me 12,000 php for the shot . . . .
i know a guy who had 12 eye operations
I had one
OK, since no one else said it... I can't un-pucker
Not a little burning with mine is like a hot poker going in my eye enough that I’m gripping on the sides of the eye chair that leaves me with nausea and a headache for a good hour after my injection. I realize it’s debated dying, but it’s sucky and I regret getting them All the time even though it does help my sight it’s terrible. I wish they come out with a less burning Betadine
What happens if you move your eye while the needle is inside doe
In the injections I've had the needle is only in for about a second, I have schizoaffective disorder and have no problems keeping still for that brief period, they typically ask you to look at your nose at the place I have mine done so you don't even see the needle at any point.
I have to get eye injections. I canceled my appointments out of fear. I cannot do it. I’m way to afraid. Sorry guys.
Cross my heart and hope to die?
Taking my dad to get an injection today
dead space 2 be like:

My left eye ring that holds the eye in place is dropping,a bump is blocked my tears in my eyelash@@hendras-ic6gi
