Cataract Surgery – Anaesthetics
What kind of anaesthetic can I have for my cataract surgery?
My patients often ask me this question and it is an important aspect of cataract surgery that can sometimes be overlooked.
Today, the technique of cataract surgery has become highly efficient which has led to shorter operating times. This, in turn, has allowed for lighter forms of anaesthesia.
