My second shot

I had my second shot this past Friday. With the first shot, I didn’t feel a thing. With this second shot, I felt just a little pain. The doctor said when he checked my eyes, they had gotten a little better, he didn’t give me all the details. The following day after my shot, I have a lot of what looks like blood on the white of my eye. I used to get those at least once a year every year for quite a while, but they were small and looked like blood, but very light. This time it looks quite large and very dark red, which looks like blood. The office is closed and no one is available and I won’t be able to speak to anyone until Tuesday. But I was wondering if anyone ever experienced this and if it is of any concern, I’m trying to stay positive and thinking it’s not.My right eye the next day after my shot.

  1. only your doctor can really tell you if this is OK, but in my personal experience my RS told me that this is something that can happen occasionally, and is usually nothing to worry about if it isn't sore. And it will take a few days to go away. I'm attaching a link that explains this for you to read, but I recommend you contact your doctor when you can. https://www.brightfocus.org/macular/article/injections-wet-macular-what-expect

    1. I was wondering how your eye is today and whether you managed to contact your doctor. What did he/she say about the bloodshot eye? Wendy, Patient Leader.
