| Abstract;A clinical evaluation was made on the efficacy and safety of intracameral anesthesia supplementing subtenon anesthesia during cataract surgery. Subtenon anesthesia was performed by injecting 1.5ml of 2% lidocaine in 60 eyes. A group of 30 eyes received BSS Plus intracamerally during hydrodissection of the nucleus. The other 30 eyes underwent the same procedure added by 1.0ml of 0.5% lidocaine. After surgery, the patients were asked about the intraoperative pain using a visual analogue scale graded into 10 stages. The intraoperative pain was significantly less in the group receiving supplementary intracameral anesthesia. There was no difference between the two groups regarding the postoperative intraocular pressure, corrected visual acuity or corneal endothelial cell density. The group receiving intracameral anesthesia showed higher values of aqueous flare at one week after surgery. The findings show the usefulness of supplementary intracameral anesthesia whenever subtenon anesthesia is insufficient. (author abst.) |
