Topical anesthesia for strabismus surgery offers benefits like avoiding general anesthesia risks and allowing intraoperative adjustments. However, increased patient discomfort is a key disadvantage, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Anesthesia

Background:

  • Strabismus surgery traditionally involves general or retrobulbar anesthesia.
  • Patient anxiety and contraindications for general anesthesia can limit surgical options.

Observation:

  • Twenty-two adult patients underwent strabismus surgery utilizing topical anesthesia over a four-year period.
  • This approach was evaluated for its safety, efficacy, and patient experience.

Findings:

  • Topical anesthesia avoids risks associated with general and retrobulbar anesthesia.
  • It allows for real-time adjustments of eye alignment to the patient's satisfaction.
  • Expanded surgical options are available for patients who cannot undergo general anesthesia.

Implications:
