As retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia has frequent complications, the efficacy and the safety of subconjunctival anesthesia in small incision, mini-nucleus extracapsular cataract extraction (mini-nuc ECCE) were evaluated. For this purpose, mini-nuc ECCE was performed in 108 eyes of 93 patients. Subconjunctival anesthesia was performed by enjection of 0.8cc anesthetic from the upper quadrant, 7mm posterior to the limbus. No patient recevied facial block anesthesia. Sufficient anesthesia for the surgery was achieved in all eyes other than 2 eyes. Transient visual loss and limitation of ocular movement were not seen in any patient. Subconjunctival hemorrhage was seen in 2 eyes.
Subconjunctival anesthesia in mini-nuc ECCE seems to be effective, allowing immadiate return of vision postoperatively and safe, so it is a valuable alternative for retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia.Keywords: Subconjuctival anesthesia, Small incision,
