This local anesthetic is used to numb specific areas of the body before medical procedures, and is commonly used as eye drops before eye examinations or minor eye surgery, as well as in spinal anesthesia. It works by blocking nerve signals in the targeted area to prevent pain sensation. It acts more slowly but longer than some other local anesthetics.
