No, they will not put you to sleep. They should offer some sort of anti -anxiety medication like valium before the procedure though, like valium. They should also thouroughly explain exactly what will happen when your in surgery. They will put numbing drops in your eyes, so all you will feel is some pressure. It's really not that bad. It's very quick, once it's done you'll be amazed at how easy it was. There's also lots of web sites out there that go through what happens on surgery day, knowing what to expect can help you feel at ease.

I really don't think you would want your surgeon to put you to sleep during a lasik procedure UNLESS your surgeon has an anesthesiologist handy. Otherwise, you may be putting yourself in danger.

Hi. No, sorry. Your eyes roll up when you drift off. It's not painful.

no, you gotta stay awake, but there will put something in your veins, and you will not remember anything!
