Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Lidocaine-assisted xylocaine jelly anesthesia versus one quadrant sub-Tenon infiltration for self-sealing sclerocorneal incision routine phacoemulsification.
To compare the effect of xylocaine jelly and intracameral lidocaine with one quadrant instant sub-Tenon infiltration for self-sealing sclerocorneal phacoemulsification. ⋯ Whereas lidocaine supported xylocaine jelly anesthesia provided acceptable analgesia for 90% of patients operated, sub-Tenon anesthesia proved to deliver better intraoperative comfort in all patients receiving sclerocorneal incision cataract surgery.
