Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Are retina injections painful?
No — they are given under topical anaesthesia (numbing drops). Most patients feel only pressure, not sharp pain. Clinic provides post-care instructions.
Q: How soon after symptoms should I visit?
If symptoms are sudden (flashes, floaters, curtain), visit within 24 hours. Chronic issues like diabetic macular edema need regular follow-up.
Q: How many injections are required?
Depends on diagnosis — some conditions need monthly injections initially, then spacing as per response. Your retina specialist will advise a follow-up plan.
