Intravitreal Injections - The Procedure
The intravitreal injection procedure consists of freezing the eye and sterilizing the eye—those are the first steps. Your doctor may put in your eye a lit speculum that holds the lids open. After some time they will inject the eye with medication that is required, remove the speculum, they may rinse the eye, and the procedure itself is over.
After the procedure is done, you will feel that the eye is frozen, the lids will feel a little bit heavy, these are all common things after the procedure and are expected.
