We gave consideration to the new legal obligation to a medical doctor to prove that he has given to a patient adequate information. 312 cases of cataract or glaucoma received written information about their disease and the risks of surgery. An informed consent regarding the operation and the post-opérative care were signed by all patients. Information cover surgical risks, sides effects, unpredictable events, care steps and all last minute protocol modifications. These documents were given when scheduling the surgery. No cancellation and no objection were noticed. The French Code Civil article 1315 was not dedicated to medical exercise but it concerns physicians. The way to give a proof is not clear. Nothing is asked in the by-laws and every medical doctor can choose the method he prefers. A signature is not an obligation and an informed consent is not an authorization. A discussion is opened to clear the best and safest recommendations to obtain a legal proof of information. Now, written texts seem to be the easiest procedure. Quality medical records and personal relation between patient and surgeon are of great importance to prevent patient unsatisfaction and disappointment.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing aerosol-generating procedures became fundamental, particularly in ophthalmic surgeries traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA). Regional anesthesia, such as sub-Tenon's block (STB), is widely used in vitreoretinal surgeries, offering a safer alternative by avoiding airway manipulation. However, the altered orbital anatomy in patients with previous scleral explant surgery creates unique challenges to STB application.
