Summary

Deep topical fornix nerve block anaesthesia is now a known form of nerve block for cataract surgeries by phacoemulsification. In this study the investigators intend to compare ropivacaine and bupivacaine in various parameters during phacoemulsification.

Conditions

  • Cataract Unilateral Pending Extraction
  • Anesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Deep Topical Fornix Nerve block anesthesia

DTFNB would be performed using two sponges (2x3mm) soaked with either 0.5% bupivacaine or 0.75% ropivacaine, applied deep in the conjunctival fornices after anaesthetising the conjunctiva with proparacaine local anaesthetic drops. The sponges are to be removed after 15 minutes.

DRUG

Ropivacaine

0.75% ropivacaine soaked sponges

DRUG

Bupivacaine

0.5% bupivacaine soaked sponges

DRUG

Proparacaine

For anaesthetising conjunctiva
