Abstract
A 40y-old white woman, with controlled type 1 diabetes, presented with transient “no light perception vision” in her right eye immediately following uncomplicated cataract surgery. She had vitrectomy for diabetic retinal detachment years ago. The use of intracameral unpreserved lidocaine in a vitrectomized eye may have facilitated the posterior diffusion of the drug in this case. Patient full recovery of vision suggests the relative lack of retinal toxicity of lidocaine in small intracameral concentrations.
