Topical: If it was me i would only want topical local anesthesia which the surgeon places by applying drops to the eye. You may or may not need sedation but i'm sure it will be available for you.

Topical local anes.: Usually this procedure can be done with the application of local anesthesia directly to the eye. In most cases there is also the use of a sedative to relax the patient for the procedure.
