Abstract
We describe a technique for performing Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty under topical anesthesia and report the results in 7 patients. No patient reported intraoperative discomfort, and no operative complications were noted. Using a topical anesthetic approach in appropriate patients eliminates the risks associated with retrobulbar and peribulbar blocks.Entities:
