I take it you chose the local? It's true I can't see people working on my eyes, but I get real tense when anyone comes close to touching my eyes. Maybe I have too many negative memories of asshole doctors who basically made everything as intrusive and painful as possible, but my tensing up is another reason I prefer to be out of it when eye procedures are done. Just having the surgeon do a quick examination on Friday pushed my limits, and my tensing up doesn't facilitate the procedure.
