About

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bilateral peribulbar block for cataract surgery.

Full description

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide, with local anesthesia being the preferred method due to its safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness.

Peribulbar anaesthesia has gained popularity due to its relative efficacy in generating ocular akinesia and anaesthesia with a reduced risk of consequences such as optic nerve damage and globe perforation.
