Actually, it isn't all that bad. They use enough deadening drops to where the injection is more along the line of pressure than pain.
Besides, without it, I'll go blind in that eye. The doctor told me of a lady that got tired of getting the shots and quit going. It wasn't very long before she lost all vision in the eye they were medicating.
And, I'm nor apprehensive about my bilateral partial knee replacements on the 23rd than the eye shot would be.
