[Should aminoglycosides be injected in the sub-conjunctiva after intraocular surgery?]

Basing on a case of toxic retinal lesions after subconjunctival injection of gentamycin and data from literature the author discusses suitability of this treatment after intraocular surgery. It seems that it should be used only in special cases, those with high risk of intraocular inflammation. The place of injection should be as far as possible from the surgical wound.
