Abstract

The Oculocardiac Reflex (OCR) is a well-documented physiological phenomenon in ophthalmic surgery, characterized by a sudden decrease in heart rate in response to ocular manipulation. This reflex, first described by Aschner in 1908, involves complex neural pathways and has significant implications for patient safety and surgical outcomes. This paper provides an overview of the mechanisms underlying OCR, explores its management strategies, discusses its clinical relevance in ophthalmic surgery, and reports its incidence and prevalence.
