Another getting old issue

[Rajobigguy]

I just had an injection in my right eye for wet AMD and now I have a black bubble in my field of vision. Has anyone else had this done and experienced the same thing?
This is my first experience with this treatment and the whole process is kind of freaking me out.

My wife has wet AMD.....shots in both eyes every few weeks. The day or two after the shots she has all kinds of crazy things in her vision....they always clear up. We found that after the shots a frozen ice maks really helps. Also start taking eye vitamins....Presser vision 2

Thanks, I’ll have to try the ice thing, I’m already doing the vitamins.

“Freaking you out”

Yes sticking needles in your eye can have that effect..

I’ve had extensive surgeries done on my left eye and “floaters” and “bubbles” have occurred every time.

Always ere on the side of caution and call your doctor but I’d wager heavy that its completely normal.

I have had same.very small tho and stays in lower centre corner

Can't fathom shots in the eye. I freaked when they wanted to shoot steroids into my eardrum.

How long should I expect this to last??

It goes away in a couple of days.

Black dots or floaters in your vision after an eye injection are usually caused by air bubbles or medication drops in the eyeand are nothing to worry about:

• Air bubbles
  Small air bubbles can enter the eye during the injection and appear as black spots that move around and cast shadows. They should disappear within a couple of days.

Thank you, that eases my mind a bit. It would have been nice if the doctor told me that I might expect this rather than having to find out in a boating forum.

Somewhere I have a picture of my eye “staked” (with needles) to keep it from moving.
Yes, I was awake, and yes I could see…

Maybe you really couldn’t hear him right after he just got done sticking a needle in your eye…..that would be completely understandable.

No I definitely was not forewarned. That’s why it kind of freaked me out. I mentioned to the technician that I was seeing a black bubble and he said it will go away but he made it sound like it will only be a few minutes.

My pterygium surgery was a trip.
It was pretty cool when he scalpeled the pterygium off, then cut the graft flap and superglued it down.
That was more involved than the cataract surgery later on.
It’s kind of cool when they start lasering the old lense out with the zapper dealio.
Anyway…the floater should go away pretty fast.
Any eye healing process occurs within 24-48 hours typically.

Not trying to cause a panic, but it might be worth a call if you have an emergency number. I would be concerned with a possible detached retina maybe hopefully I’m wrong.

If it doesn’t diminish or clear up by tomorrow I will be calling.

I've had many injections in my left eye. But not for reasons for wet AMD, for a detached retina. To cure a detached retina they inject gas or silicon oil into the eye to keep the retina attached. When I've had the gas injected I can see the black bubbles you're talking about. They bounce around, floating all around but dissipate over time. But from what I have read the bubble's from your Wet AMD injections should go away in about 48 hours, as Kachina26 said. Best of luck to you. Keep us posted on your progress. Try not to worry about it, I'm sure everything is fine.

Wife's been having these shots for at least 10+ years now. All kinds of "undesirable" things happen immediately after the shots. Sometimes the "black bubble" shows up. Sometimes her whole eye "blows out" (bleed into the sclera), sometimes they'll be red splotches in the eye, and sometimes (like this past Thursday) she'll come out completely blind.

All of it dissipates fairly rapidly. The blindness the other day cleared up after about 10 minutes, the "black bubble" should clear up after a few hours and any redness can take 3-5 days. All of it's temporary, and we are convinced that the treatment has saved her sight.

What Dr. do you go to? Wife goes to Dr. Sipperley @ Barnet Dulaney Perkins in Havasu.

 

[stephenkatsea]

I was diagnosed with PVD, posterior vitreous detachment. Vision in lower portion of right eye suddenly became very blurry and weak color perception. Eye Dr opted to leave it alone. Said it will get better. And it did. Cause, according to the Dr - Too many birthdays.

Sipperley was also my Dr.

Same doctor as you guys have. Not exactly a bubbly personality but seems nice enough. Just wish he would have warned me about this.

Dr said that my situation ( leaking blood vessel, wet AMD ) would clear up on it’s own if I were in my 20’s but that ship sailed a long time ago.

Sounds like my PVD was very different from your situation. Apparently, there’s a gel like fluid that fills between our lens and retina. That fluid is called vitreous. As we age it can detach. Don’t know if mine reattached or what. But, all’s good now. And I’m a long ways from my 20s.

Thank you everyone for your replies and input. Woke up this morning and no black bubbles.
It never ceases to amaze me how much collective knowledge there is in our little group here.
