Abstract Most patients presenting for ophthalmic surgery are elderly and have pre-existing medical problems. Local anesthesia, unless contraindicated, is the technique of choice as it is associated with the least morbidity and least disruption of the patient{u2019}s daily routine. Day care intraocular surgery under local anesthesia is safe and has powerful economic benefits and is generally the option of choice . Although general anesthesia may be preferred for cataract surgery in myopes yet the population liable for cataract operations may have some medical derangements that mandate the use of regional anesthesia and if there is a safe local anesthetic technique that can be applied for high myopes then it may prove to be beneficial when general anesthesia is contraindicated |
