You have to be awake during he surgery, yes. For my surgery, they shot the laser once into each eye for thirty seconds each.

The doctor inserts A Clockwork Orange-style device into each eye that prevents you from blinking or moving it. You can still move it a little bit, but hes always there to tell you not to. It is intensely uncomfortable because your every instinct is to move it. During the procedure, the non-lasered eye is covered by a cloth so you cant see out of it. After a few seconds, your uncovered eyes vision goes white so you can only see the bright lights of the machine. Not being able to tell whats happening probably helps a lot.

Also, they put so many numbing eye drops in my eyes, you have no idea.
