The questionnaire included questions about participants’ demographics, the preferred surgical techniques for cataracts, the preferred anesthesia technique for cataract surgery, the factors which affect the choice of anesthesia technique, the use of sedation, who gives the anesthesia, if there is an anesthesia-trained person who observes the patient during cataract surgery, and the changing trends towards anesthesia between the surgeons.Results: More than half of the respondents (59.1%) had been in practice for more than 5 years. The preferred method for routine cataract was phacoemulsification for most participants (98.4%). For mature cataract, phacoemulsification was the preferred method for 61.4% of participants. More than half (55.1%) used topical with intracameral anesthesia for phacoemulsification. Two thirds of the participants (66.3%) performed retrobulbar anesthesia for extracapsular cataract surgery. In the majority of cases (86.6%), the respondent themself is the one who administers the anesthesia. No sedation was used before surgery in 62.6% of cases. Two thirds of the respondents (70.1%) reported that they had an anesthesia-trained person monitoring the patient during surgery. Patient cooperation was the most important factor (70.9%) affecting the surgeon’s choice of anesthesia technique followed by surgeon skill and experience (57.5%).Conclusion: Presently, phacoemulsification is the preferred surgical technique for cataract in Jordan. Topical with intracameral anesthesia is the most common anesthesia for phacoemulsification while retrobulbar anesthesia is the most common for extracapsular cataract extraction.Keywords: cataract, anesthesia, phacoemulsification, cross-sectional, JordanAl-dolat WAlqudah NMAtoum DAl-Omari RKhatatbeh MDove Medical Pressarticlecataractanesthesiaphacoemulsificationcross-sectionaljordan.OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 4259-4267 (2021)
