Abstract
The choice of anesthesia in corneal transplantation significantly impacts postoperative outcomes, including visual recovery, pain management and patient satisfaction. This study compares the effects of general anesthesia, local anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation on postoperative visual acuity, pain levels and overall patient outcomes. To evaluate the impact of general anesthesia, local anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation on postoperative visual recovery, pain management and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing corneal transplantation. A total of 100 patients undergoing corneal transplantation were randomly assigned to three groups: Group A (general anesthesia), Group B (local anesthesia) and Group C (local anesthesia with sedation). Postoperative visual acuity, pain scores and recovery times were assessed at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23, with p‐values <0.05 considered statistically significant. Patients in Group C (local anesthesia with sedation) showed faster visual recovery, lower pain scores and shorter recovery times compared to Groups A and B. Group C also had lower levels of postoperative edema and higher patient satisfaction. Local anesthesia with sedation provides the best postoperative outcomes in corneal transplantation, resulting in faster visual recovery, better pain control and improved patient satisfaction. It should be considered the preferred anesthesia technique in corneal transplant surgeries.
