This varies. During operations with local anaesthetic block, the optic nerve also tends to be affected by the anaesthetic drug with no sight or with only the perception of lights or shadows while the effect lasts. During operations with topical anaesthetic, the eye sees the optical systems of our surgical microscope, although in a very exaggerated way due to the glare of the light from the microscope. During other operations where the eye itself is not operated on, such as oculoplastic and cosmetic surgery, the feeling is minimal because the actual eye is not touched.
