About this webinar recording
Ophthalmic Anaesthesia blocks have been performed for decades in the whole world and are deemed to be safe and effective. The expertise in the sharp needle Blocks namely Peri-bulbar and Retro bulbar blocks is fading. These techniques are now not compulsory in the RCOA curriculum and the Ophthalmic surgery training.
This webinar will explore and discuss the indications, contra-indications and the performance of the commonly performed Ophthalmic anaesthesia Blocks.
The anatomy of the globe will be presented by the Ophthalmic surgeon and the commonly performed blocks will be shown via videos.
We hope this will help with the teaching and training in this sub-specialty and stimulate discussion in the common controversies we all come across in our clinical practice.
