Almost all patients have
their operation carried out under a local
anaesthetic. With this method only the
eye is made numb and you are awake. You
will not see what is going on and will
not feel a thing. This type of anaesthetic
is call topical anaesthetic.
Only drops are given to numb the eye.
They are instilled into the eye over about
a three minute time period. They soak
into the eye and make it numb. It does
not wear off until well after the operation
is finished. Very occasionally a patient
may feel uncomfortable or even slightly
painful sensations during the operation.
If this happens let me know and I can
very quickly and easily give you the next
level up of anaesthetic.
