[The optimization of a method of local anesthesia in glaucoma-control operations]

Revising his own experience, the author comes to a conclusion that instillation and subconjunctival anesthesia is sufficient for painless antiglaucoma surgery. Retrobulbar anesthesia and eyelid akinesia are justified only in rare cases. Use of the bridle suture is indicated only for surgery of the patients with a narrow lid slit and deeply sunk eyeball.
