Improved my Overall Quality of Life!

They do not put you to sleep. They put numbing drops in your eyes so you can't feel anything. You will only feel pressure from where they insert little cups over your eyeball to help hold it in place. When your eyes are numb you really can't move them around anyhow, so that way you won't mess-up the procedure. The doctor said that if you do accidently move your eye that the laser shuts off automatically anyhow, so it's pretty fool-proof. I would recommend that you ask for a prescription for Valium before the procedure. I didn't have any, but I heard that other people took it before their procedure and it helped calm their nerves beforehand. I was a ball of nerves & nearly ripped the arms off a stuffed monkey that the doctor gave me to hold on to. :)

I wish I knew for your information!! So sorry I'm not sure!
