I had my 5th Eylea injection yesterday, for Diabetic Retinopathy. I always feel pain with the injections, sometimes stinging, but worse when it is a feeling of heavy pressure.
Yesterday I lost my vision in my left eye immediately after the injection. My Ophthalmologist explain it was a reaction to high pressure in the eye, and I was laid back for a couple of minutes. When nothing improved, he syringed out some of the aqueous humor, and my sight gradually returned. I was a bit faint and nauseous after but made a relatively quick recover. The experience was very frightening.
