Comparing sedation with local numbing versus general anesthesia for strabismus surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable during strabismus (eye muscle) surgery: sedation combined with a local numbing injection around the eye versus being fully asleep with general anesthesia. The goal is to see which method works better for adults having this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have horizontal or cyclovertical strabismus (eye muscles that turn in, out, up, or down)
- You have not had previous surgery on your eye muscles, retinal detachment, or glaucoma filtering surgery
- You do not have eye or nerve problems, intellectual disability, deafness, or dementia
