Abstract
Needle-based anaesthetic techniques were described in the nineteenth century and since have undergone many changes. Although the use of needle-based blocks has declined due to their complications and the emergence of safer alternative methods of local anaesthesia, they remain very popular in many countries. This review article describes the evidence based use of needle ophthalmic blocks for modern ophthalmic surgery.
