title: [Complications of retrobulbar injections. Possibilities for prevention].
abstract: The authors advocate the use of a new needle developed specifically to avoid complications with retrobulbar injections. In cases with high myopia sonography is performed to determine whether the patient has a posterior staphyloma, which can aggravate the risk of injury. In such cases the retrobulbar injection is performed with the patient's gaze directed downward and outward.
