Rs. Hoffman et Ih. Fine, TRANSIENT NO LIGHT PERCEPTION VISUAL-ACUITY AFTER INTRACAMERAL LIDOCAINE INJECTION, Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 23(6), 1997, pp. 957-958
The use of intracameral lidocaine for augmenting analgesia during intr
aocular surgery is becoming increasingly popular. We report a case of
complete visual loss after the use of intracameral lidocaine to repair
a traumatic corneal graft dehiscence. Full visual recovery returned s
everal hours after surgery, suggesting this medication's relative lack
of retinal toxicity.
