Numbing Medicine Additives for Eye Surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares different additives mixed with lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to improve how well the numbness works during eye surgery on the retina. The goal is to find the best combination to keep you comfortable during your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have no active infection or sore at the injection site on or around your eye
