STOLIK PEREZ, Pamy et al. Cryoanalgesia: New anesthetic technique. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.19, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

An assessment was made on a new anesthetic technique called cryoanalgesia, an alternative for cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. This anesthetic variant is effective to achieve adequate analgesia for cataract since it allows that surgery be performed in outpatient service, favours massive treatment and implies low costs
