Summary
Topical anaesthesia of the eye for ophthalmologic procedures avoids pain and discomfort of
local anaesthetic injection in the peribulbar or retrobulbar block so that patient
comfortability is achieved. Sedation during topical anaesthesia of the eye is mostly required
to achieve anxiolysis, amnesia and keeping the patient calm all through the procedure. In the
present study, the investigators will investigate the effect of nalbuphine/dexmedetomidine
versus nalbuphine/propofol on the sedation as a primary outcome, intra-operative,
postoperative analgesia, vital signs, patient and surgeon satisfaction and side effects as
secondary outcomes
