Abstract :

Aim: To compare topical anaesthesia with peribulbar anaesthesia in manual small incision cataract surgery

Materials & methods: 100 patients were take into study out of which 50 were given topical anaesthesia(group A) and 50 were given peribulbar anaesthesia (group B). Preoperative and intraoperative blood pressure, pulse were measured. Pain was assessed at the time of giving anaesthesia inboth groups using Wong Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale.

Results: There was no significant difference in preoperative and intraoperative blood pressure and pulse between two groups. In Group B there was significant reduction in intraoperative pulse and systolic blood pressure as compared to preoperative. More number of patients suffered pain in Group B as compared to Group A.

Conclusion: Cataract surgery can be safely performed with topical anaesthesia with minimal pain and suffering to patients and no complication while giving topical anaesthesia with good visual outcome
