Dr. Andreasen perform surgery under most types of anesthesia: local anesthesia, intravenous sedation (“twilight”), general anesthesia and regional anesthesia (nerve blocks). The method of anesthesia used is based on the patient and surgeon’s preference.

Numbing eye drops are used. Sometimes a patient will receive an oral medication to help with relaxation. Don’t worry…no needles or intravenous drugs are used.

For maximum comfort, general anesthesia is preferred. Regional anesthesia is an option for some patients. Your surgeon will discuss which type is best for you.
