- 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 showing a taut epimacular membrane with macular elevation compared to a relatively normal foveal contour immediately after surgery suggesting progressive traction secondary to lignaocaine toxicity. Fluorescein angiography revealed an occluded retinal arteriole at the macula indicating macular ischaemia underlying the membrane.
