Why retrobulbar anaesthesia?

Effect of retrobulbar versus subconjunctival anaesthesia on retrobulbar haemodynamics.

AIM To investigate the effect of retrobulbar and subconjunctival anaesthesia on retrobulbar haemodynamics by colour Doppler imaging. METHOD 39 patients (mean age 71 (SD 9) years; 19 females, 20 males) undergoing planned cataract surgery were included in the prospective study.

Extracapsular cataract extraction under local anaesthesia without retrobulbar injection.

Day-case cataract surgery and the need for local anaesthesia are likely to increase. Retrobulbar (and peribulbar) anaesthetic injection is a common technique in cataract surgery, but serious complications are persistently reported. Subconjunctival injection is an alternative that avoids these risks. This retrospective study compares two groups of patients that underwent extracapsular cataract s...
