Caruncle single injection episcleral (Sub-tenon) anesthesia for cataract surgery: mepivacaine versus a lidocaine-bupivacaine mixture.

Unlabelled: We compared the quality of anesthesia provided by mepivacaine 2% or a mixture of lidocaine 2%-bupivacaine 0.5%, both with hyaluronidase, in caruncle single-injection episcleral (sub-Tenon) anesthesia. Sixty patients undergoing cataract surgery were included in this randomized, double-blinded study.
