Ninety-five peribulbar blocks for cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation were performed by an anaesthetist over a period of 6 months. The quality of the block was assessed by the ophthalmologist and the anaesthetist. No dangerous local or systemic complications were observed. Peribulbar anaesthesia is increasingly preferred to retrobulbar block on account of its easiness and safety.

Increasing number of patients presenting for ophthalmic surgery are using oral anti-coagulant and anti-platelet therapy. The current practice of discontinuing these drugs preoperatively because of a presumed increased risk of bleeding may not be evidence-based and could pose a significant risk to the patient's health. To provide an evidence-based review on the peri-operative management of ophthalmic patients who are taking anti-thrombotic therapy.

We audited a total of 1233 patients scheduled for elective cataract extraction or trabeculectomy using peri-bulbar anaesthesia. A bolus of propofol provided sedation to cover insertion of the block. During an initial two-year period we collected data on the amount of propofol used to sedate 481 patients.
