Question by Samian's 10th -Giuliani 2012: Can LASIK eye surgery be done under anesthesia?
I wear glasses, and I actually can't wear contacts (which I purchased many years ago) because my eye instinctively closes whenever the contact gets too close to my eyeball. I also have some issues with keeping my eye open through a surgical procedure, since I might end up blinking during the LASIK process.

Would it be possible for me to be under anesthesia throughout the surgery?

Answer by Footprintz
No, the whole procedure takes less than 2 minutes, and your eye is clamped open, so you can't blink.

Most people are squeamish about that, but they have all the bases covered.

They give you a valium or something before the treatment anyway, so you won't even care what they are doing...and it's over before you know it.

I'm not sure about NG, but my husband is AD and got it paid for 100%. Since he was an ideal candidate for Lasik, his doc put his name on a waiting list. Took about 6 months, they took him down to Ft Hood to get the surgery. Stayed there for a day, he (as well as about 5 others that day) were driven back the next day. Got a few checkups and has had perfect vision ever since.

Ask your eye doc for his recommendation. Also ask your friends who they liked that did their surgery.
