Abstract
In a randomized and double-blind study, we found that propranolol (40 mg) given 2 hours prior to cataract surgery under local anesthesia reduces perioperative rise in heart rate and blood pressure. Relative to controls, cases showed lower mean pulse rate and mean systolic blood pressure at all time intervals. Propranolol effectively reduces anxiety before and during the surgery.
