Comparative study to assess the effect of ropivacaine and a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine on intraocular pressure after peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of ropivacaine with a mixture of lidocaine and bupivacaine in peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery, in terms of post-block intraocular pressure (IOP).

Methods: A one-year comparative study was done to compare two anesthetic solutions in peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery, from January 2020 to December 2020 at a tertiary health care hospital. Two hundred patients (40-70 years of age) planned for small-incision cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation under peribulbar anesthesia were included in the study.
