Materials and methods In this comparative study a total of 200 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were included. Patients were randomly assigned under Topical anaesthesia (group 1, n=100) and Peribulbar anaesthesia (group 2, n=100). Results Group 1 ,2% had no movements and 51% had no movements.14% of group 1 and 34% of group 2 patients exhibited slight movements .47% of group 1 and 14% of group 2 had moderate movements.37% of group 1 and 1% of group 2 exhibited full movements. Mean value of group 1:2.21, SD: 0.78 and mean value of group 2:0.69,SD:0.84. Conclusion Topical anaesthesia is an effective alternative to peribulbar anaesthesia for phacoemulsification reducing the risks associated with peribulbar injection.
