Sub-Tenon's anesthesia can have potential as an alternative to retrobulbar anesthesia for ophthalmic surgeries in equines. A 7- to 10-mL injection volume should be appropriate based on the results of this study. The distribution of the anesthetic solution in live tissues, the clinical effects, and the potential for complications will have to be evaluated in vivo.
