The procedure is done under local anaesthesia in an operating theatre.
You will not feel any pain during surgery. You will be able to see light, colours and movement, but you will not be able to focus on the instruments or the surgery itself. We will provide you with detailed pre- and post-operative instructions prior to your surgery. We encourge you to bring a family member to your consultation, and to ask any questions you may have prior to the date of your surgery.
