Anesthesia and sterilization
When attending the hospital or medical center on the day of the operation, the doctor anesthetizes the patient through special anesthesia drops, and after the patient sleeps on the bed designated for surgery, the doctor sterilizes and disinfects the eye, then opens the eyelids to start the laser surgical procedure
Operation procedure
