Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effects of sub-Tenon's versus topical anesthesia on pupil responses after cataract surgery.
Compared sub-Tenon's and topical anesthesia in cataract surgery
Measured pupillary dynamics one week postoperatively
Evaluated autonomic pupillary response after both types of anesthesia
No clinically significant changes in pupillary dynamics observed with sub-Tenon's anesthesia
Sub-Tenon's anesthesia is suggested as a safe alternative to topical anesthesia regarding pupil response

Implication

Comparative study examines pupil dynamics after cataract surgery, indicating sub-Tenon's safety for autonomic response.

Abstract

Sub-Tenon's anesthesia does not cause clinically significant changes in pupillary dynamics one week postoperatively, suggesting it is a safe alternative to topical anesthesia in terms of autonomic pupillary response.
