I've been in the eye clinic every month for the last year to have an injection of Eylea or Vabysmo. In the first few visits I was off work for 2 days following the injection with fever, sniffles, acute headaches and a burning eye. I though hey-ho everyone has it so don't make a fuss.
But others told me that they never had such a thing and went home without any pain. To cut a long story short, I found out it was the iodine that the doc was putting in my eye before puncturing it. This I know because one kind doctor minimized the iodine to a small drop (about a quarter of what others were using) and that time I had no pain at all. But on my last visit neither the nurse not the doctor bothered to read this discovery in my records and I got iodine from both! And a whole week of agony.
Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar iodine-fever as there's little in the internet about it.
