What is Volo eye surgery and should you accept it?

This eye surgery is part of a quest where an NPC named Volo will try to remove the Illithid worm and end up removing your eyeball instead. He will fail to remove your worm, but you will be getting a mechanical eye that will help you to look into invisible beings.

The answer to whether you should get this eye surgery is Yes. It is important to remember that you will be unable to remove it once it is done. This means it will remain with you for the rest of the game, and the rest of the party will not be very supportive of this decision.

However, it is a powerful tool that will come in handy. The ability to look into invisible objects seamlessly will always be an exceptional tool, no matter how you look at it.

In order to access this quest, you will need to rescue Volo from a Goblin camp in the first Act itself.
