Anyone had eye injections with a cataract
I don’t know if I should have cataract removed before starting injections in right eye. I have already had an injection in left eye but cataract was already removed. Will the shot be much more painful when having to deal with cataract. I am diagnosed with GA.
I have cataracts in both eyes and receive both eylea and syfovre injections, currently 2 out of every three weeks. I have no problems with the injections.
I understand your concern, eye injections can be intimidating, especially with a cataract. From what I've seen, having a cataract doesn’t usually make the injection itself more painful, as your doctor will numb the area first. Many people choose to have cataract surgery first to improve overall vision before starting injections, but it’s a personal choice. Talking it over with your doctor can help you weigh the benefits of each step. Wishing you comfort and clarity in your decision!
