    Description
    Right eye OCT of a 70-year-old male 3 weeks after inadvertent globe penetration with peribulbar anaesthesia needle and intraocular injection of lignocaine shows a thick taut epimacular membrane with severely increased central retinal thickness. Fluorescein angiography revealed an occluded retinal arteriole at the macula indicating macular ischaemia underlying the membrane.
