Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the analgetic effect of two solutions of intracameral anesthesia in patients undergoing cataract surgery and assess the factors influencing the patients' postoperative activities. Methods: In this prospective, single-blind, randomized study, a group of 62 patients undergoing cataract surgery received Mydrane (Mydrane group) or a combination of 1% solution of lignocaine and 0.025% solution of adrenalin (reference group) as an intraocular anesthetic. The analgetic effect of these two anesthetic methods was evaluated using psychological tools - Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS Pain) and Brief Pain Inventory-short form (BPI) on the next day after the surgery.
