| Abstract |
|
Local anesthesias such as retrobulbar anesthesia, peribulbar anesthesia and topical anesthesia are commonly preferred as intraocular surgical anesthesia. We evaluated the efficacy of pinpoint anesthesia described by Hidefaru Fukasaku in 1993. We performed in point anesthesia in 57 cataract patients from March 1995 to May 1995 at Kangnam St, Mary's Hospital. The younger the patients and the higher the education level, the smaller intraocular pressure increase and the better patient's compliance. Pinpoint anesthesia might be substituted with other currently used local ocular anesthesia might be substituted with other currently used local ocular anesthesia when patient's selection is appropriate and it is carried out by the well-trained doctors. |
