title: [The clinical application of topical aneathesia in phacoemulsification].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effects of topical aneathesia in phacoemulsification.
  
  
  METHODS
  82 patients(91 eyes) with cataract in phacoemulsification were divided into two groups, topical aneathesia was used on the group of 40 patients(45 eyes); Regular local aneathesia was used on the other group of 42 patients(46 eyes).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The preparatory time prior to operation in the topical aneathesia group was shorter than that in the regular local aneathesia group(P < 0.05). Eye-sight recovery of topical aneathesia groups was quicker than that of the other group (P < 0.01). There was no distinct difference of operation time and pain-killing effects between the 2 groups(P > 0.05). COUCLUSIONS: Topical aneathesia, safe, effective and easy to control, can be popularized in phacoemulsification.
