Hello there, I'm an anesthesiologist and Im specialized in ophthalmic anesthesia. I'll try to answer several of your questions in this article.

1. The needle is too short, it won't cross your whole eyeball.

2. You won't be able to see the needle when the doctor insert the needle inside the eyeball

3. It won't hurt because of the topic anesthesia.

4. It's a procedure that last less that 5 minutes if you collaborate.

5. Take the medicine the night before the procedure and after the procedure when you are going to the hospital. I'll work better this way. You can ask your doctor for instructions.

6. I know it's scary but always take your time to comprehend that this procedure is for you to be able to preserve your vision! Take care.
