Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
A randomized controlled trial of intracameral lidocaine during phacoemulsification under topical anesthesia.
To test the hypothesis that adjunctive intracameral 1% lidocaine reduces intraoperative pain during phacoemulsification using topical anesthesia. ⋯ In a rigorously double-masked, prospective, randomized, controlled trial there was no significant reduction in intraoperative pain when intracameral 1% lidocaine was used during phacoemulsification under topical anesthesia.
