I've been getting these eyeball injections this year. (1 eye, every 6 or so weeks). Bedside manner of the doctors and technicians is the most important aspect of it. I have a Doc who wonderfully calm and hires a pretty good staff. One thing the writer doesn't mention is how long all this takes. For me it's usually 2 hours of my time. I go in, get my eye scanned, then dilation drops are applied, then I wait 45 minutes for them to kick in. After that they, bring me back into a room and start applying various things to my eye: antihistamine drops, numbing agent, something to sterilize my eye, and an antibiotic (I think). All the eye prep takes 20 minutes or so. Then the doc steps in to do his thing, and that takes all of 5-10 minutes. For those curious, you don't see the needle, you end up looking toward the bridge of your nose and the doc comes from the opposite direction. You don't see it inside your eyeball either. You do see the fluid stream in and it dissipates quickly. If there is a bubble in the solution you end up with one or a few black dots floating around your vision, those dissipate in a day or two. You don't feel anything other than a little pressure on your eye. Afterward, you might have some eye pain. This depends on how good of a stick it was and how your allergies are doing. Sometimes you are relatively pain free afterward, but other times it feels like your eye got walloped and your eye will be sore for a few days.
