Hi, yes I found it very, very painful. I think it depends on where in your eye they are performing the laser treatment, and not only on the individual person’s pain level. I have had various sessions, only one where the pain was just about bearable, it did get more painful as I had more treatments , the last two were the absolute worst. Although I’ve heard from lots of people who didn’t have much pain at all,
I think that your description of it feeling like the dentist hitting a nerve is so accurate. I also had the constant eye watering.
Hope you have better luck next time.
Try to get your blood sugar levels as stable as possible and you might be lucky enough not to need all six of the sessions.
Good luck!
