Will I feel pain during the procedure?
Many patients ask whether the procedure is painful. Fortunately, it is not.
During the treatment, your eye is locally anesthetized, so you will not feel any pain. You also cannot see what the surgeon is doing; you will only notice colors and bright light, but no details. You may feel slight pressure on the eye.
After the procedure, your eye may feel a bit irritated or dry. This is normal.
Most patients feel relieved afterward that the procedure was so quick and painless.
