There will be no or little discomfort during the procedure. While you will be awake during the procedure, there are steps taken so that you don’t feel any pain. Numbing eye drops are used in the eye to prevent discomfort and sometime a blunt cannula is used to insert anaesthetic around the back of the eye to paralyze it. After medications wear off after surgery, you may find some minor eye discomfort. This pain is mild, and you can manage it with over the counter pain medication.
