This chapter covers the considerations for pre-assessment in ophthalmic patients with special reference to the elderly and paediatric populations and factors that influence the choice of anaesthetic technique. Local anaesthesia options are described with conduct of subTenons and peribulbar blocks, benefits and complications. General anaesthesia is discussed with special reference to paediatric patients and circumstances such as penetrating eye injury. Perioperative management may require drugs that influence intra-ocular pressure and the physiological control of intra-ocular pressure is explained.
