title: A preoperative mixture of anesthetic jelly, dilating drops, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories for cataract surgery.
abstract: A technique of using a preoperative mixture of topical anesthetic jelly, mydriatics, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories for cataract surgery is described. The goals of this technique are to improve efficiency and effectiveness and obtain optimal pupillary dilation with an intracameral antibiotic level.
