Abstract
Cryoanalgesia clear corneal phacoemulsification was safe with an acceptable level of pain. It induced a physiological stress response to that of topical anesthesia (blood pressure and heart rate). Cryoanalgesia was preferred over topical anesthesia by some patients. It is a suitable technique for anesthetic allergy cases.
