Abstract

Sub-Tenon's anesthesia for anterior segment surgery avoids the risks associated with retrobulbar and peribulbar injections. Localized injections over the appropriate rectus muscles ensure patient comfort as well as optimal exposure of the surgical field in eyes undergoing trabeculectomy. We have used this technique without significant complications in approximately 400 procedures.
