[Peri-bulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery].

Ninety-five peribulbar blocks for cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation were performed by an anaesthetist over a period of 6 months. The quality of the block was assessed by the ophthalmologist and the anaesthetist. No dangerous local or systemic complications were observed. Peribulbar anaesthesia is increasingly preferred to retrobulbar block on account of its easiness and safety.
