Macular hole surgery under retrobulbar local anesthesia increases visual acuity
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS A retrospective study on medical records of patients who had undergone macular hole surgery under local anesthesia. Funduscopic examination of macular hole had been performed and all other diseases with deterioration of visual acuity eliminated. Surgery was performed under retrobulbar local anesthesia, using 2 ml of 2% lidocaine mixed with 3 ml bupivacaine in one syringe. Vitreous tamponade used 20% sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ). Demographic and clinical characteristics, visual acuity before and after surgery, and improvements that occurred were assessed.
