Is Prescribing Alcohol Injections For A Lost Pressure In The Eye A Cause Of Concern?
My friends has been blind most of her life. She was taking some kind of eye drops to alleviate dryness and pain in her eyes. Now her opthamologist has told her that the drops will no longer work because she has lost the pressure in her eyes. She is in excruciating pain and is awaiting a visit to this M.D. who is supposed to give her some kind of alcohol injections. Does this sound plausible to you?

Hello and welcome.
Yes, alcohol injections are used in medicine and in your friends case would be retrobulbar injections in bling patients to help relieve pain.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
