A comparison of percutaneous and perconjunctival routes of administration of peri‐ocular anaesthesia for day case cataract surgery

Abstract

This study of 100 day case patients having cataract surgery under local anaesthesia compared patient acceptance of two peri‐ocular techniques; a transcutaneous method and a transconjunctival method. A significant difference was found in relation to the pain felt on injection such that all peri‐ocular blocks at our unit are now done via the perconjunctival route.
