What is the procedure to remove a stent from a babys eye?!


Question: What is the procedure to remove a stent from a babys eye?
My ten month old had to have a stent put into his eye this morning. His doc said he will only need it for a month than they will remove it. I was so concerned with calming my baby down while he was waking up that I didn't ask the doctor how the removal will take place. So, I'm wondering if he will have to go under general anesthesia again to get it out or how that works. Anyone know?

Just call your doctor, I'm sure there's no problem with telling you again.
