Is myopia surgery general anesthesia or local anesthesia?

Speaking of general anesthesia or local anesthesia, it seems that myopia surgery is a “big project”. In fact, the anesthetic for myopia surgery is different from what everyone thinks. Just put eye drops on the surface of the eyeball for anesthesia. After the eye drops are instilled, will people “come asleep” and lose consciousness? Nor is it. The patient himself is awake during myopia surgery, and it is almost impossible to feel pain during the operation. Some sensitive people may have slight discomfort.

How long does myopia surgery take?

In fact, the time of simple operation is relatively fast. From waiting in the operating room to the completion of the operation, some operations may only take more than ten minutes. Most of the patients can go home on the day of operation without hospitalization, which does not cause too much impact on life and work. However, preoperative examination should be carried out before the operation, which takes two to three hours. After the operation, follow the doctor’s advice to review.
