Abstract :There are many anesthesia techniques for use in ophthalmic surgery. In selecting the technique to be applied, individual characteristics and anesthetic and surgical targets should all be considered for each patient. Regional techniques are preferred over general anesthesia due to their low complication rate and advantages. However, although it is relatively rare, regional techniques can also have life-threatening complications. Ophthalmologists and anesthesiologists should be prepared to handle the rare yet severe complications that the orbital regional anesthesia technique may cause. This study aims to uncover the regional anesthesia techniques used in ophthalmic surgeries and the complications that may ariseKeywords : anesthesia, regional anesthesia, local anesthesia, ophthalmic surgery
