Abstract:
Injection of 5 ml anesthetic solution into the retrobulbar space causes the eye to protrude and the intraorbital pressure to increase up to 14 Torr. Subsequent pressure on the eye leads to enophthalmos and causes the elevated retrobulbar pressure to drop. This pressure never exceeds the perfusion pressure within the retinal vessels.
