Darcy, The doctors prefer that you are awake enough to follow

commands. If it is absolutely neccessary, they can do it while you

are completely asleep. The problem with that is that your eye moves

in what ever direction the doctor is pulling it in. When you are

awake or at least in the twilight sleep, the doctor can tell you what

he needs you to do and being awake, your eye doesn't move around as

easily. It usually is doctors preference but if you talk to him/her,

they can talk it over with you,,,,Marina
