Abstract:
The use of intracameral lidocaine for augmenting analgesia during intraocular surgery is becoming increasingly popular. We report a case of complete visual loss after the use of intracameral lidocaine to repair a traumatic corneal graft dehiscence. Full visual recovery returned several hours after surgery, suggesting this medication's relative lack of retinal toxicity.
