Abstract

Intracameral anesthesia, an anesthetic modality involving the injection of a small volume of an amide anesthetic into the anterior chamber, is among the newest modalities in ocular surgery. It was introduced as an adjunct to topical anesthesia as a possible method for providing additional anesthetic effect by blocking the sensory nerves in the iris and ciliary body. In this way, intracameral anesthesia would reduce discomfort during iris and lens manipulation and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in cataract surgery.
