Abstract

TOPICAL ANAESTHESIA IN CATARACT SURGERY WAS FIRST DEMONSTRATED BY CARL KOLLER IN 1884. KNAPP USED A 5% COCAINE FORMULATION TO PERFORM CATARACT SURGERY UNDER TOPICAL ANAESTHESIA IN THE SAME YEAR. FOR ROUTINE CATARACT SURGERY, TOPICAL ANESTHESIA IS PREFERRED BECAUSE IT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT PATIENT COMFORT WITH LOWER INCIDENCE OF COMPLICATIONS COMPARED TO OTHER TYPES OF ANAESTHESIA. THE THREE MOST COMMON METHODS OF APPLYING TOPICAL ANESTHESIA ARE BY EYE DROPS, BY EYE DROPS WITH INTRACAMERAL LIDOCAINE INJECTION, AND IN GEL FORM. IN THIS IC WE WILL DISCUSS THE PATIENT SELECTION AND HURDLES IN UPGRADING TO TOPICAL ANAESTHESIA, METHODS OF TOPICAL ANAESTHESIA AND VARIOUS SURGERIES LIKE PHACO, SICS, TRABICULECTOMY, VITRECTOMY AND STRABISMUS SURGERY. WE WILL ENLIGHTEN THE AUDIENCE ON THESE TOPICS.
