Do most eye surgeries require the patient to be put to sleep?
Q. I want to be an ophthalmologist, but it would be pretty gross to have to operate on a patient that does not have anesthesia.
A. The most common surgery is for cataracts removal, and the patient is awake for that , with drops of course to numb the cornea.
Lasik , laser surgery is also done wide awake.
Several types of eye surgery is done on an out patient basis, which means they are awake.
By the time you get through medical school, that won't bother you anymore. They will have you doing things a lot more gross than that....lol

How Long Can Psychological Condittioning Last?
Q. When I was a kid, I had to have eye surgery. I was still nauseous from the anesthesia, and shortly thereafter got a cat.
Now, the strange thing is that whenever I start to feel nauseous, all I have to do is just look at one of my darling kitties, and the nausea immediately feels worse.
Is this a sort of unconscious conditioning? If so, how long could it last?
(No rude answers, please.)

Will smoking marijuana two weeks prior to my eye surgery have any effect?
Q. I am a very infrequent smoker and smoked two weeks prior to my scheduled surgery date. Will it have any effect on the anesthesia or surgery? Should I get my surgery moved?
A. yes, it can cause damage to your eye. When a person gets high something happens to the eye to get them red.
Does anyone know how much Cherry Eye surgery runs for a Dog?
Q. I also want to know if anyone recommends the surgery, what the risks are, and what to expect as far as recovery. Thanks.
A. Depends on what is done. There are several surgery options to correct cherry eye, and a range of prices. Not all possible procedures are suitable for use in all dogs with the condition. You will need to consult a veterinarian who has examined your specific dog for a quote. There is NO other permanent treatment for Cherry Eye- so YES, the dog needs surgery. You can sometimes treat the inflammation, but it'll just come back and you'll end up spending more money in the long run than if you'd had it corrected properly to begin with. Many cherry eye procedures are minimally invasive with nominal recovery time. You may need to put antibiotic drops or anti-inflammatory drops in the dog's eye for a week or two post-surgery. If they must also remove the tear duct to correct it, the dog may need drops put in their eyes to keep them moist a few times a day for life, but that's about the worst long term outcome you'd be looking at in a surgery that was done properly. Obviously with any procedure requiring anesthesia, there are inherent risks, as with humans. Complications with anesthesia, etc are rare but can happen. Your veterinarian will discuss those with you prior to the procedure.
