Cataract Surgery in Patient with Severe Scoliosis

Sarfaraz Khan, Shripat Narayan Dixit

A 70 year old a male presented to us with complaint of diminishing of vision in both eyes, on examination he was diagnosed mature senile cataract in right eye and nearly mature cataract in left eye. VA recorded PL+with PR full in right eye and fingercounting 1/60 in left eye. He was then advised to have cataract surgery with IOL implantation, but due to severe Scoliosis posture itwas a difficult task to make him lying down for Local anaesthesia and surgery. We gave him Local anaesthesia in sitting position(Figure 1-5).
