Side effects of Eylea injections

My wife has been getting EYLEA shots since April 20, 2020. She has wet macular degeneration and leaking blood vessel. Her pain after a shot gets pretty bad by the time we get home (1 and 1/2 house drive), Tylenol doesn't help. Can she use cold compress to help? Why is the needle so big for pre-loaded doses? Pain level has gone up considerably, since they switched to a pre-load dose. Doctor said only pre-loads are available. True?

I was advised that pain after Eylea injection occurs when the nurse or tech are not careful to completely flush the disinfectant out of the eye after the injection. I have experienced this burning pain when I am traveling and have an injection at a different eye clinic. The pain starts about 1-2 hours after the injection. You can either discuss this with your care providers or flush your eye with drops as soon as your Clinic visit ends or both.
