What to Expect

You will be awake during the surgery, but our surgeon will use a topical anesthetic drop to temporarily numb the feeling in your eye(s) during your procedure. We also provide you with a sedative about 30 minutes before your surgery to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.

You may see bright lights, but you cannot see what your surgeon is doing. He will talk with you throughout the procedure about what you can expect to happen.

You may feel some pressure and you may experience the need to blink. However, most treatments are typically painless.

Is There Pain?

Each individual has different experiences regarding pain. You may feel the following symptoms: slight irritation, red and watery eyes, dryness, a burning onion sensation and your sinuses may feel as if they are plugged. We advise you to go home and nap for several hours. When you wake up, the irritation should have lessened or disappeared. You may then resume activity as specified in your post-operative instructions.
