  • Title: Inadvertent penetrating injury to the globe with periocular corticosteroid injection.
    Author: Jain VK, Mames RN, McGorray S, Giles CL.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1991 Sep; 22(9):508-11. PubMed ID: 1945275.
    Abstract:
    We surveyed 488 physicians regarding their experience with inadvertent ocular penetration with steroid injections over a 5-year period. Sixty-six cases of ocular penetration were reported by the 209 physicians who responded. Of the 18 patients whose retinal status was known, 12 (67%) had retinal detachments resulting from the penetration. Final visual acuities in 85% of the 26 cases were worse than 20/100.
