You can regain near normal vision if the rest of your eye is normal for your age. There are some risks when you have general anesthesia. Discuss these risks with your doctor. A local anesthetic may not numb the area quite enough and you may feel some minor discomfort. Also, in rare cases you may have an allergic reaction to the drug used in this type of anesthesia.
Local anesthesia is considered safer than general anesthesia.
Ask your doctor how these risks apply to you. You have a sudden loss of vision. You have excessive drainage from your eye. You develop a fever. Developed by Clinical Reference Systems.
