I can only speak to my experience with Relex Smile although I imagine all clinics follow a relatively similar process for the same types of treatment. The staff at the clinic tried to make sure I was relaxed and comfortable generally at all stages of the process, eye drops were used to anaesthetise the eyes before surgery, in the surgical suite a device was used to hold my eyelids open so I couldn't blink during the procedure - this was mildly disconcerting but not uncomfortable, then it's a case of staring into the bright green light while the surgery is carried out, it probably wasn't more than a minute for either eye and it was done, there was possibly a feeling of mild pressure on the eye while the machinery being positioned but it was very slight, my vision was naturally a bit blurry after that so I got taken to a gently lit recovery room to sit still and close my eyes for a while. I was lucky in that I had no pain or even feelings of grittiness in my eyes but I kept using the eye drops to the set schedule and all seems to be well so far.
