Abstract | PURPOSE: SETTING: Ain Shams and Cairo University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. METHODS: RESULTS: The mean time for satisfactory anesthesia was 7.5 minutes +/- 1.68 (SD) for lidocaine 2% and 2.5 +/- 1.53 minutes for carticaine 4% (P <.001). The need for supplementary injections was 28% in the lidocaine group and 4% in the carticaine group (P <.001). The mean onset of postoperative pain was 2.00 +/- 0.86 hours in the lidocaine group and 5.52 +/- 1.80 hours in the carticaine group (P <.05). There were no cases of postoperative neurotoxicity or extraocular muscle dysfunction in either group. CONCLUSIONS:
