When they did my last eye I actually woke up right at the end of the operation
Cayugad, they didn't put me under at all - only an injection "to relax you". I was awake throughout the procedure. I could tell when she was breaking up and vacuuming out the natural lens, and when she was attaching the new one. But no pain.
BarnesAddict, when I got home I realized that the pants I was wearing, which I thought were black, were actually dark blue. Now I have to go out and buy some black pants.
