Intraocular anesthetic following peribulbar anesthesia.

The incidence of globe perforation following peribulbar anesthesia is rare, occurring in 0.006% of the cases in a recent series. The incidence of intraocular anesthetic injection is also rare; only 4 cases have been reported in the Englishlanguage literature. We report a case of an intraocular injection of a combination of bupivacaine hydrochloride and mepivacaine hydrochloride following globe perforation during peribulbar anesthesia.
