    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Retrobulbar anesthesia is a common procedure for ophthalmic surgeries.
    • Complications, though rare, can be severe and vision-threatening.

    Observation:

    • A case of scleral perforation following retrobulbar anesthetic injection is presented.
    • The perforation led to significant ocular complications.

    Findings:

    • Predisposing factors for scleral perforation include anatomical variations and injection technique.
    • Proper needle trajectory and depth are crucial to avoid globe injury.

    Implications:

    • Understanding risk factors can guide preventative measures during retrobulbar anesthesia.
    • Minimizing complications enhances patient safety in ophthalmic procedures.
