ABSTRACT A prospective study was performed to evaluate and compare the effect of subconjunctival bupivacaine and topical amethocaine on pain relief after strabismus surgery. A total of 40

children scheduled for elective operation were randomly allocated to receive either subconjunctival bupivacaine or topical amethocaine at the end of surgery. Post-operative pain was

evaluated using a four-point assessment score. We show that both techniques provide good post-operative pain relief. We advocate that either could be used routinely in strabismus surgery

although topical amethocaine is easier to administer. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS THE EFFICACY OF NON-DEPOLARIZING MUSCLE RELAXANT AS ADJUVANTS TO LOCAL ANESTHESIA IN PERIBULBAR
