I see black moving spots after intravetreal injection - how long will this last?

Hi there. 

It is annoying, right? I had it as well, but I have to say that this just disappeared after a couple of days, while I was using a macular degeneration treatment that my doctor recommended to me. I remember that he told me that floating object and moving things are those things that will bother me the most. I didn't understand what he was talking about, but when I came home, I saw it and I knew it - it was like, oh no, one more side - effect. Well, it is normal. It will go away after a couple of days, let's say 7 days. Don't worry a lot about it. 

Hello, those moving spots and flying objects or floating object that you can see are usually a sign of the complications and infection after intravetreal injection. My friend used to tell me that she sees some dark discs. She was telling me that those discs totally disoriented her when she was doing some normal life activities. How many injections you had? My friend told me that she stopped seeing those discs after fourth of fifty injections, I am not sure. Sure, you should let your doctor knows about it, but I think that there is no way too many reasons to be worried. Sure, being careful is always a good thing. 

OMG, I had this surgery a couple of months ago and I felt so weird, like I am on some type of drugs when I start to see those black sports moving all around me. I can't say that I was not scared, because I was. I was terrified. But, I stood calm and I seek on the Internet a bit about this. It was like an huge stone just fell of my heart when I red that this can be present for 24 hours. Of course, it was gone after 13 hours I think, but it is was not pleasant at all.

I have nothing to add, expect that this is really normal and common. But also, a lot of patients are making a huge mistake - as soon as they get out of the hospital, after the surgery, they start to typing on their phones, they are watching TV, and the only thing that they can say about this is that their doctors didn't tell them not to do that. Well, that is not something that your doctor has to tell you, right? I mean, it is a logical that if you had an eye surgery or any type of the procedure on your eye, you should not stare in the screen.

Well, I think that I was seeing those black spots and moving objects for a while, for about two days. I was totally aware that this is one of the side - effects, but I was not prepared to deal with it for that long. They were moving around the walls, curtains, and I was following all the instructions that my doctor told me. Anyway, when it comes to this, you really should not panic about this. It is normal, it is just like you get up fast from your bed or when you lay down and you see some dots, it is all about eye pressure. It will go away. Good luck and I hope that you are doing fine now.
