Hyaluronidase (HA) has been used for many years in locoregional anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery, because it improves penetration of the anaesthetic and reduces the volumes that are needed (Delaere et al. 2009; Nouvellon et al. 2010).

We would like to report an unusual cluster of 44 patients of six Dutch ophthalmology departments, who [...]
