Dear Suejoyce,
It is advisable to wait at least 5 days after an injection before washing your hair.
Kind regards,

I have had 69 to date but never received that advice/warning. Often I will shower within 12hrs of an injection.

Ty
I have been told to avoid water in eye for a few days. I do shower and wash hair but wear goggles and keep my eye shut !!
I've never been told anything about this. However, since having cataract surgery a couple of years before the AMD, I always wash my face before getting into the shower and stand with my back to the shower to avoid getting water in my eyes. I really hate getting water in my eyes, it is so sore.
I have been advised to wait 24 hrs after injections to wash my face or take a shower. I used wet wipes for my face.
i have never been told this ...so glad you brought it up Suejoyce x
I wash my hair the day of my injection , so it stops it from getting too crappy, then Ishower about 24 hours after jab very carefully, and avoid water on my face completely. Wash my hair about five days later. Better to be safe than sorry.
Ty how are your eyes
