The needle they use is short and does not extend very far inside the eyeball. (No, you can't see the needle.) If the eye jerks while the needle is inserted, it won't move far. Eyeball tissue is thick and strong and the presence of the needle will limit the eye's motion to only about 2-3 mm, doing no damage. The needle enters the side of the eyeball, peripheral to the sensory part of the retina. An eye flinch is exactly what happened to me when I got my latest injection of VEGF-inhibitor to counteract macular degeneration due to 20+ years of diabetes. It was no big thing, just a little disconcerting. |
