Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEfficacy of topical plus intracameral anesthesia for cataract surgery in high myopia: randomized controlled trial.
To assess the efficacy of intracameral lidocaine supplementation of topical anesthesia during cataract surgery in eyes with high myopia. ⋯ Intracameral lidocaine supplementation for cataract surgery may improve intraoperative comfort under topical anesthesia in highly myopic eyes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudySeparate and additive mydriatic effects of lidocaine hydrochloride, phenylephrine, and cyclopentolate after intracameral injection.
To assess the separate mydriatic effect of lidocaine hydrochloride (Xylocaine), cyclopentolate, and phenylephrine after intracameral injection and evaluate whether intracameral Xylocaine and phenylephrine without cyclopentolate provide sufficient pupil dilation for cataract surgery. ⋯ Xylocaine plus phenylephrine injected intracamerally gave adequate intraoperative pupil dilation in routine phacoemulsification surgery. Cyclopentolate administrated intracamerally had no immediate additive mydriatic effect to intracameral Xylocaine combined with phenylephrine.

Randomized Controlled TrialSafety and efficacy of topical anesthesia combined with a lower concentration of intracameral lidocaine in phacoemulsification: paired human eye study.
To assess the safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification under a topical anesthesia combined with intracameral lidocaine 0.5%. ⋯ Combining topical anesthesia with intracameral lidocaine 0.5% [corrected] anesthesia was safe and effective in phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyTetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% versus lidocaine 2% jelly as a topical anesthetic agent in cataract surgery: comparative clinical trial.
To assess the anesthetic efficacy of tetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% (TetraVisc) versus lidocaine 2% jelly in routine cataract extraction. ⋯ TetraVisc was as effective as lidocaine 2% jelly as a topical anesthetic agent for routine cataract extraction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyBrinzolamide 1% versus apraclonidine 0.5% to prevent intraocular pressure elevation after neodymium:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy.
To compare the efficacy of brinzolamide 1% with that of apraclonidine 0.5% in preventing intraocular pressure (IOP) rise after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. ⋯ Brinzolamide 1% and apraclonidine 0.5% given prophylactically before Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy were effective in preventing IOP spikes after treatment.
