N2 - Elderly patients represent the majority of the surgical population scheduled for ophthalmological surgery. Eye surgery is usually minimally invasive, enabling most of the procedures to be performed as day-case surgery despite the high co-morbidity of these patients. This, however, requires a specific perioperative anaesthetic strategy. In this chapter we address features of perioperative care in the geriatric population undergoing eye surgery, from pre-medication and pre-operative testing, to choice and performance of anaesthesia, and finally to post-anaesthesia care.
