Combined topical and intracameral is the most common choice of anaesthesia for cataract surgery in the United Kingdom and is associated with lower anaesthetic-related complication rates than sub-Tenon's and peribulbar/retrobulbar anaesthesia. Variation in anaesthetic choice exists between centres and between NHS & ISTC sectors.
