Laser treatment is NOT for cataracts. They need a lens implant where the
old lens is removed and a plastic lens substituted. The operation can be
done under local anaesthetic which it was in my case whereby it is
injected into the eyeball with a hypodermic needle. Or if you prefer to
know nothing about the operation you can have a general anaesthetic; the
anaesthesia only last as long as necessary - about 1/2 an hour so there
are no nasty after effects.
