چکیده
Material And Methods: 109 consecutive patients listed for routine cataract surgery were operated under topical anaethesia. Patients received four doses of 0.5% proparacaine eye drops. A 10 point visual analogue pain scoring system was used to score pain just after instillation of drops and pain score during operation was recorded just after completion of surgery. Intraoperative/ postopearive complications and surgeon’s difficulties attributable to operating conditions were recorded as was the incidence of chemosis and subconjunctival haemorrhage.
