Side effects of Eylea injections

Posted by lvon @lvon, Feb 16, 2020

I had one injection of a drug called Eylea in my eye which was 95 percent cured from using Avastan. My eye went back down to 30 percent with this new drug to the point where my sight is darkened and blurry. Has anyone had this problem after trying the drug Eyelina? Did you get your sight back?

I always have a bloodshot eye after the injection. I've tried eating spinach and taking a vitamin K supplement before I go. I also use Lumify drops. Nothing so far has completely worked. It can last for 3 weeks and the problem is I do on camera video production for work!

I have been having injections of Avastin, and Vabysmo for wet Macular degneration, since 2018. I get the injection every 5 to 6 weeks. I have only had a blood shot eye twice. I feel like both of those time I moved my eye just a fraction, and that is what cause the blood shot issue. And both times it took at least 2 weeks for it to clear up. My doctor has a very calming mannerism, and most times I am very relaxed, but I have been nervous a few times, and that may cause me to move my eye, during the procedure. I know it is very important not to move.
