A first bevel of the bevel region has a first bevel angle with respect to the outer peripheral face. A second bevel of the bevel region extends from the first bevel to the proximal end. The second bevel includes a tip of the intracameral injector needle, and has a second bevel angle with respect to the outer peripheral face, where the second bevel angle is different from the first bevel angle, the first bevel and the second bevel defining a transition therebetween. The transition is at least one of: (1) longitudinally positioned between the tip of the intracameral injector needle and a location of a maximum width of the bevel region; and (2) vertically disposed at a position below 50% of a maximum height of the bevel region.
