Handling Eye Injections

After I have my injections in both eyes my doctor gives me an artificial tear drop and also a drop of prednisone which helps tremendously for inflammation and discomfort.

I have found it takes about 24 hours to clear all the symptoms from the shot. In 4 years of injections, I have had two that were uncomfortable, after the lidocaine drop I don’t feel the injection.

Try a different doctor if you are not happy with the injections you are receiving.
