A prospective study was performed to see if the patients in our set up could safely and reliably be operated upon for cataract extraction under surface anaesthesia alone. This initial experience suggests that surface anaesthesia alone is suitable for carefully selected patients, while others tend to face undue anxiety, resulting in excessive ocular movements and eye lid squeezing during surgery.
