Does injections over time enlarge the eye.

[Harrymole]

Hi Folks, after 4 years of lucentas injections my eye is slightly larger than my good eye. Just wondering if any others have noticed this.

not noticed it myself after 6 yrs but I think you should ring your clinic.

Hi Harrymole, the same thing has happened to me after many injections.

I mentioned it to the consultant who said she couldn’t see any difference!,

But my daughter n myself can see a difference in my eyes.

It's funny you should mention this because I have noticed the same thing. At first, I thought I was imagining it but I finally had to admit it.🙁

I wondered the same myself, might it be the eyelid affected by the clamp ?

I have 6 years of injections and I have noticed that the swelling goes down if I apply a warm rinsed out wash cloth over my closed eyes ...I also began using eye drops for DRY EYES ONLY not the redness ones. Hope this helps

Yes! My "shot eye" is more open than my good eye. No swelling, just wider. Doesn't seem to effect sight at all. I try to practice opening my good eye wider to match. An interesting side effect? I forget to mention it at my appts. Maybe I will remember now. Thanks for mentioning it! 🌷

Don’t think so but have you had any thyroid problems? Was thinking thyroid eye disease. Maybe check with doctor and ask friends. If they’ve noticed a difference.
