Abstract
The usual anaesthesia nowadays for phacoemulsification is drop anaesthesia (e.g. tetracaine drops) and in addition intracameral anaesthesia (e.g. Xylocaine 1 %). For a secondary implantation of an iris-claw IOL or an intrascleral IOL, we recommend a peribulbar anaesthesia. We use a blunt cannula which has a low risk for a globe perforation (BD, 25G retrobulbar cannula, Atkinson).
