Eye Anesthesia's hidden impact on retinal blood flow revealed

NCT ID NCT07298746

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at how local anesthesia given before cataract surgery changes blood flow in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Researchers will use a special imaging technique called OCT angiography to compare blood vessel density before and after the anesthetic injection. The study involves 100 adults aged 40 to 80 who are scheduled for cataract surgery. The goal is to better understand any temporary effects of the anesthesia on the eye's microcirculation.
