My 92 y.o. mother has to have injections for the above. Obviously she is a bit nervous. She wants to know is it painful?

From the NHS website: "The medication is injected into your eye using a very fine needle. You'll be given local anaesthetic eye drops so the procedure doesn't hurt. Most people tolerate this very well, with minimal discomfort" http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Macular-degeneration/Pages/Treatment.aspx

They insert numbing drops first and these are extremely effective, it really is the anticipation that's the worst part.
