Efficacy and Performance of Various Local Anesthesia Modalities for Cataract Surgery

Abstract

Local Anesthesia Requirements Akinesia Many surgeons do not consider akinesia an important requirement for cataract surgery, but some prefer to operate under conditions in which eye movements are blunted if not completely paralyzed. Friedman et al. [27] report that both retrobulbar and peribulbar blocks

To Study the Safety of Multi-dose Topical Anaesthetic Eye Drops One Month after Opening

“…These agents provide sufficient anaesthesia to carry out these procedures under comfortable circumstances both for the patient and the doctor 1 . Topical anaesthesia has largely replaced other techniques of local anesthesia like retrobulbar/peribulbar anaesthesia being employed during cataract extraction via phacoemulsification [5][6][7] .…”

Substantiation of new methods for local anesthesia during minimally invasive surgical interventions

“…Меняются эпохи и общественные формации, но и в наш век высоких технологий, как и столетия назад, эффективное управление болью отстает от прогресса хирургических методов, и сейчас прогрессивно мыслящий хирург-новатор вынужден ждать оптимального обезболивающего решения для проведения нового оперативного пособия [2]. Это справедливо и для офтальмологической практики [3], и для стоматологических методов лечения [2].…”

Comparison of topical versus peribulbar anaesthesia for manual small incision cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation

“…16 In recent years topical anaesthesia for cataract surgery has gained popularity. Complications of peribulbar and retrobulbar anesthesia include chemosis, retrobulbar haemorrhage, and penetration of globe, intrathecal injection and optic nerve damage-directly or by vascular occlusion.…”

“…However PA is definitely considered in certain conditions like complicated cataract surgery that needs iris manipulation and total akinesia. 16 Lack of akinesia is a drawback of TA. But it does not cause any difficulty to experienced surgeons.…”
