“Is anesthesia used during eye surgery?”
I plan to have LASIK surgery soon, and I'm wondering about what exactly is used for anesthesia during it. Will I have anesthesia?

A small amount of sedation 1 hour before.
No needles just eyes drops.
Most of the time local anesthetic is used
Yes, you are going to have anesthesia, either topical or general.
Done with anesthetic eye drops.
It is generally sedation, either by IV or pills. You are awake during the procedure, but you will be comfortable.
