What helps reduce the burning sensation after Eylea injections?
SEP 14, 2022
Question:
Is there something you recommend to reduce the burning sensation after my Eylea injections? I use eye gel, eye drops, erythromycin ointment, and ice packs, but wondered if there are more effective options.
Answer:
It is important for your ophthalmologist to be aware of your burning after
eye injections, which may be related to the disinfecting drops used during the procedure and are very common following treatments.
The burning sensation usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Lubrication is helpful to relieve burning, and there are other techniques your ophthalmologist may recommend if lubricating drops are not sufficient. Using lubricating drops throughout the day before the injection may also reduce burning after the injection.
