I have my first appointment tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it but this video has helped a lot - and I know the alternative to not having the treatment!
Thank you Dr. Anderson, you are doing a great job with your team! I am going through that same problem and awaiting for my injection and hopefully will regain my eyesight. I'm only 45 years old and suffering from a Wet AMD due to high blood pressure.
I hope you feel better
is there a reason why dilation drops are used during this procedure? I understand the need for numbing drops. I have heard that Betadine is used to sterilize the area. Does this not cause the eye to burn once the numbing agent wears off? Also, what happens if you strike a blood vessel with the needle? Might that cause blood turn the white of the eye red? Why are technicians or nurses doing the injections instead of a doctor? Though I am sure they are good people and trained, they are not doctors. What happens if a mistake is made? Would it entail being hospitalized?
I had mine yesterday. I'm 31 so very young for this but it wasn't too bad at all. I was honestly so scared but I knew I had to have it done.
@wallflower I promise you it's a lot easier than you think. I've had 3 now and I'm fine.
@@PapaulskiBCFC Any side effects?
@@alanchamberlain9902 No but I’m having a check up next month.
I have wet macula and not looking forward to injections at all. Has your eyesight improved ?
How's your eye now?
Do you have to have the face covering on, as that would make me feel claustrophobic
I have a fear of needles every time I get an injection I feel sick afterwards it can last a few hours. I've had 11 injections between both eyes and can say I felt sick for days after. with that said the injections aren't bad only twice have I had pain due to a lack of numbing drops, still hate them. Once I did have my vision go all white and for about 30-45 seconds couldn't see a thing in the eye. Overall the injections have helped my eyesight.
can you be asleep to have this done as im terrified of having this done im a diabetic and 45
I'm supposed to get this done and I'm nervous as heck. I have no fear of needles really, but freak out when anything comes near my eyes. I can barely do eye drops, I don't let people touch my eyes. I don't know how I'm going to make it through this. EDIT- UPDATE PLEASE READ. Okay I did it and it looks far far worse than it actually is. First of all I was afraid of the clamps, but trust me you do not feel them at all! You blink as normally because it's reflex, your eyes don't even know they are there. They numb and clean your eye well before the shot, and the shot itself you don't see. It stung a little but not bad. So take it from me it looks a lot worse than it actually is.
My advice... sedate yourself or beg them for valium xS
I`m in the same boat I`m terrified
You'll be ok you are numbed up and do not see the needle my dad had his first and needs two more with secondcone tomorrow he just used some liquid tears in the eye for 24 hours after
Thank you for the reassuring comment, I am having this procedure for the first time.
Had it done today. Everything they say in the video is true. Especially the grittiness 424 hours. Not allowed to put any eye drops in your eye or rub your eye for 24 hours. That's the tough part
Hello Doctor I'm from Philippines I just want to ask if how many days to see the result after injecting eylea? I got my first shot this July 15,2022 but my eye still getting blurry. Is it normal?
looks so painful owwww!!!
Bonjour ! je dois me faire faire une injection (in the south of France) bientôt. J'aurais vraiment aimé avoir le TEXTE écrit pour me faire ma propre traduction. En général, je baisse le son et la vitesse de lecture, et je regarde plusieurs fois la vidéo. Merci !
Thanks i am so scared
Does Avastin cause of any symptoms? I have had injections for a few years and seem to be sluggish after and had headaches.
I get headaches for up to 24 hrs after getting the injection. My eyes are extremely sensitive to light & have blurred vision for 1-2 days. My doctor gives iodine drops so I find that can cause my eyes to burn after as well. (She does rinse it out after the shot).
Well i get it done tomorrow.. as a preparation before a laser treatment only to get another one later on... I must say.. i do not look forward to it.. but ultimately i am not too worried... yet
Done subbed
The video has everything except the singing angels. Now I know what's meant by blind faith.
Anne marie, is that you doing the injection?
Nope nope nope nope nope, it was bad enough getting any damn injections in my toes or feet, nope.
They had to give me Ativan to calm me down when I first started getting it done. I still hate it but am used to it now.
Saaaame. I had laser surgery for glaucoma and they didn't numb me. Torture. A needle in the eye that can cause retina detachment, cataracts etc no thanks. I got diagnosed with MMD late so I've already lost vision. It's just not worth it. If they had caught it early maybe.
