Avastin and Macular Degenertion - Third injection today

by Nola
(Dry Prong, Louisiana)

This morning I had my 3rd injection in my left eye. I was dreading it because with the last 2 I had horrible pain in the afternoon and evening. Today he said there might be something on my cornea that is causing the pain.

So he put a contact lens in the left eye. I am still having some pain but no where near where it was after the last 2 shots. I have only had one in the right eye and no pain afterwards at all.

I go back Monday to have the contact taken out. I hope I don't do something in my sleep with the contact. I couldn't believe he told me to not take it out even for bed.

So I am only seeing with the right eye tonight. They did check my vision and both eyes have improved. I am so hoping that after this, I won't need any more Avastin injections.

Hi Nola,

I’m sorry to hear about the pain you are having after your eye injections. How did you last eye appointment go? Did you doctor recommend more injections or can you take a break?

Kind Regards,
