Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Context:

  • Modern ophthalmic surgery, particularly cataract removal via phacoemulsification, increasingly utilizes topical anesthesia and microincisional techniques.
  • This shift facilitates outpatient procedures, altering the landscape for anesthetic management.

Purpose:

  • To review advancements in regional anesthesia for ophthalmic procedures over the last decade.
  • To discuss anatomical considerations, anesthetic techniques, innovations, and potential complications relevant to anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists.

Summary:

  • The review covers topical anesthesia, phacoemulsification, and foldable lenses, enabling same-day cataract surgeries.
  • It addresses anesthetic blocks performed by anesthesiologists or ophthalmologists, emphasizing the need to understand patient-specific advantages and disadvantages.
