    Children usually get general anaesthesia at eye’s operations, adults at operations of the forehold section of the eye usually not.

    “this video on youtube” !
    Even for me as a physician, but not an ophtamologist, I don’t understand really, what my colleagues are doing here, cause there are no explanations. And for this it is for the layperson all the more on the same level as it was for me, when I was watching Bunuel’s “An Andalusian Dog” (the scene, when the razor blade is slicing the eye) as a teenager; 30 years ago for me a horror film – harmless in comparison to today’s provocations.

    I’m guessing awake but sedated. When I had this done, I remember seeing everything, hearing the doctors talk, feeling a tugging sensation (but no pain), and just absolutely not caring one bit. In my case, I was sedated with Versed and Fentanyl.
