Reaction immediately after injection?

[Annsandra13]

I wondered if we should see the fluid immediately after our injection, I am pretty sure I usually see the burst of fluid but maybe I’m wrong.

The reason I ask is that after both eyes injected I only saw the fluid immediately in my left eye, and not my right eye which I have not seen any improvement since.

Maybe I’m unlucky but wonder where the fluid went?

Hoping my friends on Macular are well and progressing.

Love to all xx

Hi Annsandra. I do too although there was a time that I didn't see any but didn't think about it until someone mentioned on here some time ago that they normally saw fluid but hadn't been recently. It made me wonder if that's why my eye seemed to stop improving for a while - probably not but fortunately after a few injections, I started seeing it again. I found this little snippet of info on Brighthouse.org which I hope will help.

"Some people see a web of lines as the medicine mixes with the fluids inside the eye."

Hoping you are keeping well. xx

Hi, Thank you for your snippet! I may ask the consultant about it as I’m pretty sure the injection didn’t produce any improvement this last time.I’m keeping well as much as I can at this time in life😜

I hope all is well with you ?

I see what i think resembles oil and water mixture but it only lasts a minute..

Hi JJanThank you for kindly responding,, yes I agree with you about the fluid just last a few seconds but I just wondered if we should see it every time we are injected.

I hope you are keeping well.

I think it depends on the injector to, .some are quicker than others injecting , i dont get it every time...take care x

Thanks JJnan, it’s just I didn’t think the eye had improvement this time. I appreciate your message.

Hi Annsandra, I often see the medicine immediately after injection but it disappears within seconds, Doctor said it’s nothing to worry about😊

Thanks for your reply, yes I see the fluid most times I’m just wondering why I didn’t see it this time. I hope all is going well for you.Kindest regards

I generally see the fluid ‘going in’ at each (Lucentis) injection. Disconcerting the first time but I’m used to it now and it soon disappears.

Hi, thank you for responding and yes it’s strange when we first encounter it, I’m not worried about it but wondered why I don’t see it in my right eye this time especially as I’d not feel they eye has improved since. Hoping all going well for you Kindest regards
