Eylea

I have now had 22 Lucentis injections and three Eylea injections and must say since having the Eylea injections my sight has at last improved.

I still get terrible floaters after the injection and it feels like I have grit in my eye following the injection but taking pain killers before the injection helps

Hi lizzie, glad to hear the eylea is working. It gives me hope in case the Lucentis doesn't do it for me.

My floaters are worse after each inj but I suppose we just get used to them.

Yes, painkillers pre inj are a must lol x

Enjoy your weekend.
