Minimal anesthetic manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS): A novel technique in use for anesthesia in MSICS.

Ever-evolving modern day cataract extraction techniques have been accompanied by the use of smaller quantities and less invasive methods of anesthesia. Topical anesthesia is routinely used for phacoemulsification. However, peribulbar block or some modification of it is used for anesthesia in manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) by most practitioners.
