Mohs Surgery Lower Eyelid Hello, I have an appointment for Mohs Surgery on a bcc which is on my left lower eyelid and very close to my lashes and the inside corner of my eye. I know its done under local anaesthetic, but I would like to know how the eye is kept open and if I will be able to see what they are doing? Am very anxious. ty

A: Mohs surgery and eye

Typically most surgeons will place a drop of Tetracaine in the affected/planned procedure eye prior to beginning surgery. This is a topical anesthetic that will completely numb the eye. Then a small delicate shield can be placed comfortably in the eye so that you can effectively ignore the actual technical aspect of the procedure. If they provide you a small dose of Valium this will also relax you during the procedure and make the process very reasonable.
