  • Title: Subconjunctival hemorrhage and vision loss after regional ocular anesthesia.
    Author: Behera UC, Panda L, Gupta S, Modi RR.
    Journal: Int Ophthalmol; 2018 Jun; 38(3):1309-1312. PubMed ID: 28434070.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report two cases of retinal vascular occlusion and associated subconjunctival hemorrhage in needle optic nerve injury during local bulbar anesthesia. METHODS: Surgical records of these two subjects who presented with acute vision loss after cataract extraction were studied, and systemic workup and ocular imaging were carried out to establish the cause. RESULTS: Computerized tomography showed evidence of optic nerve injury. CONCLUSION: Subconjunctival hemorrhage could be an associated clinical finding in hypodermic needle injury-related retinal vascular occlusion during ocular anesthesia.
