"Received my first injection today. The inj was nothing, its the burning and feeling like my eye was scratched from the betadine solution used to disinfect my eye thats pretty overwhelming. Eyesdrops only soothe for a minute or two."

I'm glad your first injection is over for you. It's such a shame that they can get the injection to feel like nothing, but the Betadine causes so many problems! Did you get a good rinse out afterwards by the technician? Wendy, Patient Leader.

Yes the doctor flushed my eye very well but my eye is still very irritated and burning without relief.

all I can say is that you're not alone in this issue, but that doesn't help you! Some people have said they ask for less Betadine just to be applied to the injection site and not spread all over the eye. Others find that a cool washcloth over their eyes at home helps. Wendy, Patient Leader.

Thank you for your recommendation and encouragement. I will try that.

you're welcome. I hope you can get some relief. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.
