Anesthetic eye drops are used. No needles or intravenous drugs are used. You will feel no pain during the surgery. You will feel pressure on and around the eye, but you will never, at any time, experience any pain.. With modern techniques, there is very rarely more than a mild discomfort for 12 hours.
