[The clinical application of topical aneathesia in phacoemulsification]
1Department of Ophathalmology, People's Hospital of Zhongshan, Zhongshan 528403, China.
Purpose:
To evaluate the effects of topical aneathesia in phacoemulsification.
Methods:
82 patients(91 eyes) with cataract in phacoemulsification were divided into two groups, topical aneathesia was used on the group of 40 patients(45 eyes); Regular local aneathesia was used on the other group of 42 patients(46 eyes).
Results:
The preparatory time prior to operation in the topical aneathesia group was shorter than that in the regular local aneathesia group(P < 0.05). Eye-sight recovery of topical aneathesia groups was quicker than that of the other group (P < 0.01). There was no distinct difference of operation time and pain-killing effects between the 2 groups(P > 0.05). COUCLUSIONS: Topical aneathesia, safe, effective and easy to control, can be popularized in phacoemulsification.
