Sedation medication and procedure has it's own positive and negative aspects, if you have informed your physician about her condition, he is bound to take a better call on this. Doctors study and experience teach them where they can use which procedure for the benefit of the patient. You should trust your surgeon and the almighty god. Good luck, take care :)

Anesthesia is the administration of medications to block or numb pain during a surgical procedure. It is usually provided by a special doctor called an anesthesiologist. Since cataract surgery is fairly quick and noninvasive, the anesthesia is usually light. The eye can be numbed locally by installing few anesthatic drops or injection, eliminating the need for full sedation most of the time. So nothing to worry, get counseling with expert before undergoing surgery.
