For eye surgery you are usually awake the whole time.

Although sometimes the eye surgeon may give you a topical numbing agent that makes it so that you do not feel anything going on when they are doing the eye surgery.

My father had eye surgery and he was awake the whole time.

He said he did not feel a thing while they were doing the eye surgery on him.

He was worried about it at first but he said it was after all nothing to worry about.

He just had to lay still for the eye surgery and the eye surgeon applied some topical numbing agent to his eye lids so he would not feel any pain.

Eye surgery is pretty safe and for most eye surgeries the patient needs to be awake.
