AbstractPurpose: To assess whether the use of topical 2% lidocaine gel can further reduce pain in pattern scan laser panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). Methods: Forty-two consecutive treatment naïve patients requiring PRP were prospectively recruited and randomized into methylcellulose group (0.4% Novain + methylcellulose gel) or lidocaine group (0.4% Novain + 2% lidocaine gel). Primary outcome measure was pain level utilizing the Numerical Pain Scale (NPS). Results: The lidocaine group had statistically significant lower pain scores immediately after the laser (NPS: 3.41 ± 1.07 vs. 1.91 ± 2.49; P = .015) but not during the insertion of contact lens (P = .754) or during the laser procedure (P = .673). Conclusion: The use of supplementary 2% lidocaine gel can significantly improve patient comfort in pattern scan laser PRP.
