Please help, has anyone had their eye injected?

Question

i've had a bump on my eye for about three weeks and i went to an eye specialist today and he said that since it's not going away on its own that they have to use an injection to get rid of it, my question is has anyone had this experience? does it hurt? any info would be helpful, thanks.

Answer 1

eww thats gotta hurt!

Answer 2

omg, i've never heard of this. go get a second and third opinion. don't mind the cost of seeing another doctor. but it's your eyes, we cannot afford to make any mistakes! research some more too. better safe than sorry as they say.

Answer 3

It sounds like you have a chalazion (bump in the eyelid) If that is what it is then you could try warm compress 4 times a day and oral antibiotics.  the procedure for this is quite simple and done in the office.  if you have ever had an injection from your dentist then that is kind of what its like.  the injection would not be in the eyeball only the eyelid.
