## Pre-operative Assessment
- Every patient scheduled for surgery is assessed by the anaesthetist beforehand.
- She reviews general health, long-term conditions (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and lung disease), medication and allergies.
- Where needed she asks for further tests and agrees with the surgeon what to do about medicines such as blood thinners.
- She can hold the pre-anaesthetic consultation in English with patients who travel from abroad.

## Sedation and Anaesthesia in Eye Surgery
- Most eye operations are carried out under anaesthetic eye drops (topical) or local anaesthesia while the patient is awake.
- Light sedation may be given to very anxious patients.
- General anaesthesia is preferred for children, longer operations and patients who cannot cooperate.
- The method is chosen together with the surgeon; vital signs are monitored throughout the operation and recovery is followed afterwards.
