The baseline pain score was higher in the peribulbar group (1.57). The onset of akinesia was faster in sub?tenons (90.34 s). Complete akinesia was achieved in 82.9% of patients after peribulbar block. There was no significant difference in complications in both groups.
Conclusion:
Sub?tenons block is an effective and safer technique of ocular anesthesia for SICS. It can be considered as an alternative to the conventional peribulbar block for SICS.
