“…With regard to injection speed, injecting 5 ml of anesthetic agent within 60 seconds is generally considered a slow speed for a retrobulbar injection. 28,29 On this basis, we suggest that a safe speed for retrobulbar filler injections is 1 ml every 15 seconds. Also, based on previous reports, the appropriate volume range of retrobulbar filler injections for orbital volume enhancement could be considered to be between 1.0 and 2.5 ml.…”

nsufficient orbital volume-along with its various causes, including trauma and loss of the eye following enucleation or evisceration-is a challenging problem for craniofacial and oculoplastic surgeons. 1 This condition causes enophthalmos and deep upper eyelid sulcus, which is a significant determinant of the facial appearance. Also, the sunken and shallow fornix caused by insufficient orbital volume in anophthalmic socket syndrome cannot be completely resolved by simply increasing the size of the implanted prosthesis. 2,3 Thus, adequate orbital volume restoration is an important issue for both aesthetic and functional improvements.

“…The use of a microprocessor controlled delivery system to administer a constant slow rate of local anesthetic has been reported to cause less discomfort than the manual syringe technique 39. However, the speed of anesthetic delivery during retrobulbar and parabulbar injection did not significantly affect pain scores in one study 36…”

This study discusses local anesthetic agents, administration techniques, ancillary considerations, and safety precautions for oculoplastic surgery including eyelid, lacrimal, orbital, and temporal artery biopsy procedures. Methods for reducing patient apprehension and discomfort including systemic premedication, topical pre-anesthetic, visual, auditory and tactile distraction techniques, regional blocks, small gauge needles, warmed lidocaine, and buffered lidocaine are discussed.

In recent years anesthesia modalities have changed in ophthalmic surgery. A growing trend toward the use of topical anesthesia in cataract surgery is apparent. The present-day techniques used in ophthalmic surgery are retrobulbar anesthesia, peribulbar anesthesia, subtenon anesthesia, and subconjunctival anesthesia as injection techniques, topical anesthesia using drops, gel, or sponge, and intracameral anesthesia. Injectable anesthesia (RBA, PBA, STA) provides a higher level of analgesia and globe akinesia. With injection techniques the risks of vis a tergo and anesthetic complications increase; the level of analgesia after topical anesthesia could be improved by supplementation with i.v. narcotics.
