Inject this substance in your eyes for night vision

This word “inject”…

With what’s basically a really fine turkey baster, Tibbetts slowly
dripped 50 microliters of Ce6, an extremely low dose, into Licina’s
speculum-stretched eyes, aiming for the conjunctival sac, which carried
the chemical to the retina.

OK, yes, it’s “injecting” the fluid in the sense that it’s introducing it to the eye. But come on. You say “inject” in a context like this, and we all start picturing a needle puncturing someone’e eyeball. All the hairs on my arms are standing on end just thinking about it.
