How does it feel when you have surgery with a retinal detachment?

How does it feel when you have surgery with a retinal detachment?
I am 15 years old and I am scared. I got this retinal detachment, the doc. says, by a trama accident when I got hit in the eye 3 months ago. He says he has to cut also the membranes or something like that that is pulling the retina.

you don’t feel a thing, they either give you a general anesthesia, so you sleep thru it, or they use numbing agents and again, you can’t feel anything.
