# Does conjunctival naevus laser removal surgery hurt?

Laser removal of a conjunctival naevus usually causes only mild discomfort. Anaesthetic drops numb the eye surface, so most people feel warmth or pricking rather than strong pain.

## During laser treatment

After numbing, the laser is applied in short bursts. You will see bright flashes of light.

- Some patients describe a slight burning or gritty sensation
- Significant pain during treatment is uncommon
- The session is usually brief and performed as a day procedure
- Any discomfort can be reduced with extra anaesthetic drops

## Aftercare and comfort

The treated area may feel sore or scratchy for a day or two. These symptoms typically settle quickly.

- Artificial tears and prescribed drops ease irritation
- Simple pain tablets are usually enough for comfort
- Severe pain, discharge, or reduced vision should be reviewed promptly
- Follow-up checks healing and cosmetic outcome
