Comparing Peribulbar and Topical Anesthesia in Cataract Surgery among Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

CONCLUSIONS: Cataract surgery appears safe in patients with adequately controlled cardiovascular disease, and topical anesthesia may be preferable due to noninvasiveness, adequate analgesia, and minimal effect on hemodynamic parameters. Therefore, hemodynamically stable patients of cardiovascular disease undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery may be counselled for topical anesthesia.PMID:38224720 | DOI:10.3341/kjo.2023.0123
