tetracaine and Macular Degeneration

tetracaine has been researched along with Macular Degeneration in 3 studies

Tetracaine: A potent local anesthetic of the ester type used for surface and spinal anesthesia.
tetracaine : A benzoate ester in which 4-N-butylbenzoic acid and 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol have combined to form the ester bond; a local ester anaesthetic (ester caine) used for surface and spinal anaesthesia.

Macular Degeneration: Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.

"Sixty patients receiving intravitreal injections over 15 months for macular edema because of diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, or retinal vein occlusion who were randomized into 3 groups to receive 1 of 3 commonly used forms of anesthesia-TetraVisc, proparacaine HCl, or tetracaine HCl-before receiving intravitreal injection were studied."5.16Factors affecting patients' pain intensity during in office intravitreal injection procedure.
