Simplified sub-Tenon's anesthesia: miniblock with maxiblock effect.
This technique is a safe simple way to administer sub-Tenon's anesthesia that provides akinesia comparable to that of retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia and frequently results in excellent lid block. The potentially serious complications associated with retrobulbar and peribulbar methods appear to be absent.
